Answer:

The author's purpose is to show how dangerous the work of scientists is and demonstrates it by illustrating in detail all the safety measures they have to take.

Explanation:

The author recounts how Nancy had to start wearing <u>ear protectors</u> on her ears, demonstrating how the roar of her suit's air could damage her hearing forever.

<u>Both wear gloves and handcuffs</u>, and <u>seal their spacesuits.</u>

It even shows how it is already instinctive for them to control that no one possesses a<u> sharp object</u>, since the tearing of their suits would imply mortal damage.
