Life in space
What's that light in the sky? Is it a star? Is it a planet? No, it's the International Space
Station, 400 km above Earth! l'm here on the space station for Six months with five other
astronauts from Russia, the USA, The Netherlands, and Japan. We travel around Earth
sixteen times every day, at a speed of 27,724 km per hour.

I get up at Six o'clock in the morning and I wash. Everything floats in space because of zero
gravity, including water! We have a special shampoo to wash our hair without water! I get
dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, We only use the space suits outside the space station.
Outside, the temperature changes a lot. lt's 10ºC in the sun, but it's -10ºC in the dark; lt's
23ºC inside the space station in winter and in summer.

We have breakfast at quarter to seven. All our food comes in tins and special bags and it
isn't very nice. We don't have pizza on the space station.

After breakfast, we do exercise for an hour. Our arms and legs don' t do a lot of work on the
space station because we float. Exercise is very important. We watch films in the gym. My
favorites are Russian comedies! They're funny.

3
Then we start work. We do experiments and work on the computers. We have lunch at one
o'clock. In the afternoon, I make videos for science lessons in schools. I answer questions
from students about life in space. Before dinner we do another hour of exercise.

4
In the evening and at the weekend, we play games, chat, or use the internet. Yes, we have
internet in space! On Sunday, we have a video chat with our families and friends.

We go to bed early. We sleep in sleeping bags, so we don't float around the space
station at night!
