Life in space is certainly very different to life on Earth.
The space station is in a quiet neighbourhood and
it’s got a great view. There are a lot of chores
that astronauts have to do ... floating in the
air as they can’t walk in space.
Inside the station, there is a lot of
floating dust. The astronauts have
got a special vacuum cleaner with
a long pipe for ‘catching’ the dust.
As for mealtimes, there isn’t a kitchen
with a cooker and a fridge. All the food is in tins and
packets. There are spoons, but there aren’t any forks
or knives because all the food is wet. And what
about washing clothes? The astronauts have
disposable clothes so there isn’t a washing
machine, either! How cool is that?!
