Paljasavaruus

Paljasavaruus, also known as space nudity, refers to the practice of removing clothing in space, typically during spacewalks or other extravehicular activities. This practice is not only a matter of personal comfort but also serves practical purposes. In the microgravity environment of space, clothing can become uncomfortable and restrictive, potentially causing overheating, skin irritation, or even injury. Additionally, the lack of gravity allows for greater mobility and flexibility, making it easier to perform tasks.

The first recorded instance of space nudity occurred during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969, when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin removed their spacesuits to collect lunar samples. Since then, space nudity has become a common practice among astronauts and cosmonauts during spacewalks and other extravehicular activities.

While space nudity is generally accepted within the space community, it has sparked debates and discussions about personal privacy and cultural norms. Some argue that it is a natural extension of human behavior in a unique environment, while others view it as a violation of personal boundaries. Despite these debates, space nudity remains a topic of interest and fascination for both scientists and the general public.
