I wonder. How long would the magnet's field last outside of the Earth's magnetic field? Also, assuming one is outside the Earths field, what would a magnetic compass point to? Anything? Interesting question. Surely NASA's done something along these lines. They must know.

Yes. Magnetism is independent of gravity and is also independent of the existence of an atmosphere. A great example is that the earth itself is a giant magnet, like any planet with an iron core.

Surrounding the group cabin with water might make an useful shied against maximum styles of radiation. this will even have the income of offering and needed consumable for the trip. regrettably, water is relativity 'heavy' and can upload a great type of mass to the area deliver. additionally, without an useful recycling gadget, the astronauts might burn up their protective for the period of their trip. there is likewise the concern that water does not provide up cosmic rays and severe power gamma radiation. we do not have adequate information to make a correct effect analysis on the astronauts. the only actual deep area information in this we've on that's from the Apollo astronauts on their short journeys to the Moon. as far as rockets bypass. as quickly as an area craft has been sped up and inserted into an orbit, the engines are close off and physics take over. They coast to their trip spot. because of the fact of this a launch window to Mars purely opens as quickly as each and every 2 years and it takes six months to get there. If gasoline and mass weren't a attention a project could desire to be sent to Mars in a shorter volume of time by utilising consistently firing it incredibly is rockets.

Yes. Magnets do not depend on air or gravity to work.

Sure would, magnets don't really care whether or not there is air around or the pressure of the surrounding area.
