Astronauts can breath in space, as you see on tv during space walks. The normal human cannot survive without extra oxygen the oxygen in space is not as high of concentration as the oxygen we are used to breathing.

YES AND NO.
SPACE IS A VACUUM SO BEFORE YOU COULD EVEN BREATHE, YOU WOULD EXPLODE BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE EQUALISATION BETWEEN YOUR BODY AND THE VACUUM.
However, if you wear a space suit which is specially pressurised you can breathe through the air supply. So, the answer is also YES.

Without a space suit you will explode in seconds due to the pressure in your body vs the absense of pressure in space, so breathing would be the least of your worries.

Breath and pop.... Mwahhaha
Although after reading Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy I'm led to believe that you can take a lungfull of air and live for 30 seconds. Mmmaybe not.

one cannot naturally breathE in space because there's little or no oxygen, hence all those clothes and space gear astronauts where, among them an oxygen tank on their backs?
Just to also explain :
The word "breath" is the noun and you can use it like this:
He has no breath left in his lungs.
The word "breathe" is the verb or the action which ought to be used like this:
Can you breathe in space?

No, there's no air to breathe. That's why astronauts have to wear space suits.

No.You will breathe.However It has to be through a gas mask supported by an oxygen cylinder. Please also note that there is no atmosphere in space. Hence one has to be in space suit all the time to avoid bursting of blood vessals of human body.

Yes. As long as you are wearing a space suit, or are inside a pressurised space station.
