What are the possibilities of get rescue by a starship if you get into the space?

Probably in the margin of 1 in a few trillion, knowing that we haven't seen any in space yet, and therefore extremely unlikely....

Of course they will get there. It is merely an issue of enough fuel to guid and proel the ship. As long as they have an airtight capsule they will be able to make it. \n\nThe bigger issue is why waste money going. Unless you have a reasonable sense of getting a return for your investment why go. \n\nIn short they will not go until technology is developed that would allow people to go and stay for an extended period.

None.  We have had a fly-by, but no orbiters.  Messenger will eventually be there, but it is rather hard to orbit mercury.  You launch a probe to it, and you need to be pretty craft to be able to stop it at mercury since it will have a tendancy to be accellerated into the sun.

I found this very easily on the Internet.  You could have done the same thing.\n\nhttp://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/academy/universe/RADEC.HTML

This is a tough one.  Are you sure you want to do this?\n\nAstronauts are always tethered to the space shuttle by a steel wire attached to special fixtures that are there for that purpose.  Maybe she thinks she attached the tether, but was distracted and the hook didn't catch.\n\nAstronauts do not have rocket engines in their suits for maneuvering.  They depend upon remaining attached to the shuttle.  Maneuvering rockets have been experimented with, but are not routinely carried in the shuttle.\n\nDuring the Gemini program, a thruster got stuck in the "on" position and sent the capsule spinning wildly out of control.  Neil Armstrong was the pilot and, through brilliant flying, got control of the capsule and saved the mission.  During training, he similarly responded to a malfunctioning rocket trainer, ejecting at the last possible moment.  Those two incidents were key factors in his being chosen to land the first LM on the moon.\n\nThe stuck thruster scenario couldn't happen the same way in the space shuttle because the shuttle has (i think) 32 thrusters and any one would not accelerate the ship that much.  Also, the shuttle has an automatic attitude control (call it an "autopilot") which would cause other thrusters to counteract the effect of the misfiring one.\n\nSo, you would be left with a previously unknown software glitch causing the shuttle to momentarily spin out of control by incorrectly firing many thrusters.  The pilot could switch off the automatic attitude control and take over manual control.  When he does this, he could overcorrect.\n\nFor your doomed astronaut, it could go like this.  She neglects to hook up the tether properly.  The shuttle lurches away from her and shakes her off the arm.  Then, when the pilot overcorrects, it slams into her and sends her spinning off into space, maybe unconscious and maybe with a cracked helmet that is leaking air.  Since the software problem means that the automatic attitude control cannot be trusted, the pilot has to go after her on manual control.  This is much slower, and before he can get to her, all of her air has leaked away.\n\nNASA goes to a lot of trouble to avoid having an astronaut floating away, so this scenario involves several events occurring in succession, every one of which is basically impossible.  Deus ex machina in reverse.\n\nThe space debris scenario is not believable.  All space debris larger than a softball is tracked by radar by NORAD.  The space shuttle is placed in orbits that are known to have little debris.  If a piece of debris might come within several miles of the shuttle, they change course.\n\nYou might have a small piece of debris, say something the size of a marble, hit the astronaut and kill her instantly.  Being hit by something like that would be like being hit by a 50 caliber bullet, only space debris travels a lot faster.  It would basically drill a hole through the person.  If it only damaged her suit, they carry tape that can be used to temporarily repair any rip that would not kill an astronaut instantly.\n\nYour idea of a space shuttle astronaut drifting away to die in space is fundamentally improbable.  I'm not sure you know enough about the space shuttle to write a story about it.  Maybe you should read a couple books and visit Kennedy.

You could ram the iceberg head on. If you do that, then the ship wouldn't sink, because the water would only get in the first, or maybe second watertight compartment, rather than five compartments like it did happen.

This question  has been asked before, hasnt it? Sounds familiar.\n\nSpace is never ending, you can leave the Milky Way and you will enter another galaxy, depending on where ure exit point is.

I think you need to contact NASA!!

yes.\nSome very clever people managed to teletransport a photon of light from one side of a lab to the other. But dont get your hopes up being able to transport people between starships and the planet they orbit.....

Since G-Force is a measurement of acceleration, if the spaceship you are in accelerates in space you can feel it.

I bet if you got a coffe can and some pop sicle sticks, maybe some paper towel rolls, you could whip up a space station really quick.

They can never escape. as to where they go? no one knows. Check out space.com it is a very informative site.

Employ the use of friction. As the ship moves forward, it collides with an unspeakably large number of air and water molecules. You can think of these as many collisions where momentum is conserved. As the air and water molecules absorb the ship's momentum, the ship will slow down.\n\nBut in the case of a spaceship, there are no water or air molecules in space. Instead, you should use reverse thrusters to slow down the ship. As the products of the chemical reactions of the thrusters are pushed forward, because of the conservation of momentum, the ship is pushed back, effectively slowing down your spaceship.

You would go until you died of course. Assuming you'd never die, you'd never stop travelling in that spaceship. That's what infinity means. It's hard to grasp that idea, but space never ends...

Most people will die. Ecxept for the smart ones like me who have taken prior precautions. You see i have built a spacecraft which i keep under a tarp in my back yard. It's loaded with provisions that i constantly update, and it has a smaller ship attached that i can use to find a suitable place develop housing when i get there. When the time comes i will grab a suitable mate and we will fly into space in order to continue the human legacy.\nIt's really just too bad for everyone else.

I will do it to satisfy my curiosity. A free trip in the space to discover other inhabited planets and galaxies is a dream come true. It is an occassion not to miss out but i would not go for ever because there can't be no better place than our home. I will return back to earth after the trip to my home sweet home.

i would grab the closest lasar gun and start shooting...i mean your the hero here... you can't die...espesailly if your the last on left...you have to do it to save the human race...without you we are all doomed...a big dramatic ending would be if you set the self destruct...then excape in the nick of time...speaking of which why would anyone make a self destruct button anways...i mean if there is a self destruct wouldn't that mean that you are carriering enough explosives just to blow you own ship up...that most likely can not be used on your enemy...well anyways...you can do it...we are all counting on you\n\nand to answer the above question...spacepeoplepc...duh
