… in Space!
Do you want to live in space1? The best place to live in space is on the
International Space Station. It is a place for people to learn more about space.
It is located2 between 330 and 435 kilometers above the earth. Life on the
Space Station is different. Like many people here on Earth, people there wake
up and brush their teeth, take showers and wash their hair. But they must be
very careful. They must be very careful because they don’t want to use lots of
water. They must use special3 soap4 and shampoo5. When they eat
breakfast, they must eat food they first bring with them from Earth. Again, they
must be careful because they don’t want their food to float6 away! After people
on the Space Station finish breakfast, they start their work. They don’t have to
take a bus or a taxi. Their work is on the Space Station! After work, the people
there must do exercise. It is not easy to stay strong in space, so they exercise
for more than two hours every day. They can exercise with running machines7
and cycling8 machines. For fun, people on the Space Station can read books,
watch movies, listen to music and look out the windows at Earth. One time
every week, they can also talk with their friends and families back home.
