Living in Space
How would you like to work in a lab that is orbiting in space? The International Space Station
has been floating above Earth since November 2000. Astronauts from all over the world take
turns living at the Space Station for six months at a time. While they are there, they perform
experiments and learn about what it would be like for humans to live in space.

Living in space has many challenges. Activities you don’t even think about on Earth are difficult
without the help of gravity. When astronauts go to sleep, they have to be strapped to their
beds. Otherwise they would float around and bump into things. Activities like cutting hair or
clipping nails are very different, too. Astronauts have to use a vacuum to catch hair and nail
clippings. Bits of hair and nails floating around could damage expensive equipment!

Astronauts agree that their favorite activity is looking out the windows of the Space Station.
