Why is there no sound in outer space?
Most of outer space is close to a vacuum, so there are too few particles to pass sound vibrations along. Electromagnetic waves can still travel there.

Why can soldiers marching damage a bridge?
If repeated footsteps line up with one of the bridge's natural vibration frequencies, resonance can build up the motion. That is why synchronized marching can sometimes be risky.
