Just curious, the galaxy is so huge, I'm just curious, and the black holes even suck light in, so I thought I'd ask.

Not much is known of black holes, but what is known it that they are infintesimal specks of vast amounts of gravity. They are no bigger than a pin head, but they are able to form whole galaxies through gravitational pull.
So to answer oyur question, any body or anything would be ripped up into a million pieces befroe they got into a black hole. So no, they would die, as well as any equipment with them

Well, first they get ripped apart. Whatever part of their body is nearer the black hole will feel a lot more gravity than the part that is farther away. So it gets pulled off. It's the same force that makes tdes on Earth.
Next the pieces are hugely accelerated as they fall toward the black hole. So they got hot (even though there's no air). So hot that some of their body is converted to radiation. Other parts do go into the black hole. But "where do they go" is no longer of any interest. "They" simply don't exist any more.

no astronauts will probley never get sucked in because those black holes are billions or trillions of light years away and i dont think we are in any danger but if they could they will be pulled with soo mutch force they will be oblivrated but if they can survive i think they will be travling so fast they are bending time kind of like if you have a straight line and you can only go from point to potint but if you bent the line and you only go from point to point you can get their in less time but at the same speed i think ime not for soure jst rember i am only 15

Near is a relative term. Being a few light years away is close enough to suck that astronaut in.

if they'd be sucked in, they'd go an see god !! so to say, they'd die. and ... btw the galaxy isn't big at all, if you see it withing astronomical structures ... it is a disk of only 100000 ly in diameter and the distance to the next similar one is about 2 million ly but the universe is about 16 billion ly ... so how can you say, the galaxy would be big?

the theory is that the gravity of black holes can be used as jumping points in long distance space flights......watch the beginning of the latest superman movie...this is a good illustration of the subject..

No it's impossible.
