A few hours, like 3-6 I think. But if your planning on going to outer space then bring a helmet!

Not in outer space; but it does rain on Earth and Earth is in space so in a sense it does.

What would a person weigh in outer space?
Well, id you were just in empty outer space-you would way absoloutley nothing. There is no gravity in outer space, the planets provide the gravity. But if you were talking about the moon, a 100 pound person would weight 12 pounds on the moon.
How can they work outside of the space station if it is traveling at 17500 mph?
Even though the space station is traveling at a speed of 17,500 miles per hour, all objects inside or attached to the space station are traveling in the same speed and direction. Relative to these objects, the space station will appear like it isn't moving at all. When an astronaut goes on an extra-vehicular activity (EVA) outside the space station, he will still be moving in the same speed and direction as the space station. Because of this, the space station will appear to be stationary to the astronaut (Unless the astronaut pushed against it, in which case the astronaut would drift away). In the event that an astronaut does accidentally push himself away from the space station, tethers and handrails allow the astronaut to pull himself back to safety.
