      Hey Sasha,

      yeah people live in space as we speak! They live on the international space station for example.
      Because the conditions in space are quite dangerous they need to have the right clothing, especially when they work outside the space station! (Inside normal clothes are ok).
      Outside they need space suits and sophisticated equipment to survive the lack of air, radiation and cold! Check it our here:
