1: Radiation - Any planet/moon/or even space that is not protected by an atmosphere like Earth experiences radiation. That is a major reason why space travel is so dangerous. Radiation is everywhere in space. its like you can't escape it!

2: they also have to worry about bone and muscle degeneration caused by spending all of that time in microgravity (exercise can also slow this problem but not prevent it)

3: when the shuttle is fully loaded with the oxygen they need, it is extremely dangerous, so if one of the crews on the shuttle fart, they will interfere with the oxygen

4: they suffer from boredom, cabin fever and muscle atrophy

5: it is very difficult to digest food because there is no gravity acting on their body. Also, it is very bad for their bodies to be in an anti gravity for such a long period of time.

6: Lack of food, lack of air and warmth. Anything that you need 2 survive.

Astronauts take many risks when they accept a mission to go into space. Specifically, astronauts risk getting hit by debris or meteorites, a rip in the space suit, exploding upon launch or reentry, and a general risk of death.

Why is a rip in the spacesuit is so dangerous?

The oxygen that the astronaut is breathing escapes through that rip (because there is no oxygen outside of the spacesuit, diffusion makes the oxygen spread outside of the spacesuit), and eventually the astronaut dies of oxygen deprivation.the temperature helps to kill the astronaut as well.
