Bored with your life?Dreaming of something different?When I feel like that I look up and wonder what life would be like 400km above my head.That's where the International Space Station orbits the Earth,with six astronauts who travels into space on board for months at a time.
How do they sleep?They spend the night floating in a sleeping bag inside a small separate room on the ceiling.American astronaut Sunita Williams explains: "It's like a little phone booth but it's pretty comfortable and it doesn't matter if I turn over and sleep upside down.I don't have any feeling in my head that tells me I'm upside down."
Brushing your teeth in a place where you can't have a tap or a sink can be a challenge.Can you imagine the mess that running water would make in weightlessness.Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield uses a straw to put a big blob(團) of water from a sealed bag onto an ordinary toothbrush and adds a little toothpaste to clean his teeth-which he has to swallow when he's done.
Daily exercise is of great importance.The weightlessness makes bones easier to break and muscles lose strength - so spacemen are encouraged to work out for at least two hours a day.
The role of spacemen in the International Space Station is to act as lab technicians for scientists back on Earth.So they spend their time preserving their environment and performing and monitoring experiments in a confined(有限的) space about the size of a Boeing 747.Almost every task is carefully planned by mission control -although most astronauts spend their first days losing stuff until they get used to sticking everything they use to the walls.
One of their most valued privileges is the view from"the office",ruled by that huge blue ball down there,sitting in the darkness of space.Wow!Absolutely breathtaking!
