LIVING IN SPACE.

Someday people will live in space. By the end of the century there will, be permanent
settlements that will allow people to lead a normal life in space. Hundreds of astronauts are
going to work and live in the space station, which will take ten years to build.
In some way, living on the moon will be easier than living on a space station. And it will be
cheaper because people won’t bring everything from the earth by rockets. The space city will
be like a gigantic glass wheel that will contain buildings, forms, factories and special meeting-
places. Inside it, people won’t live differently from small towns on Earth. It will have air so that
inhabitants can breathe, and they won’t need to wear special space-suits inside the buildings.
Scientists also believe that they will obtain water from a large ice lake on the moon. People
won’t have to do housework because robots will do that for them. Food won’t be a problem,
as settlers won’t need to eat. Instead, they will take a pill three times a day!.
The first group of astronauts will live on the moon for six months and then they will return to
earth and another group will travel. This will be repeated until the first settlers can establish
permanently in the new city. Life on the moon will only be the beginning. We hope they will
use the knowledge we get there to plan expeditions to Mars, Mercury and even Pluto.
