in technical terms, this research question meets all the characteristics of a good research question: it’s specific, direct, and has a researchable component. however, based on whether this is a research question that can be researched now, it’s not good because there is not much data on children in outer space. it’s not a question that can be easily researched in modern life. depending on the context, it could go either way
