II Reading – Comprehension section

Space Travel
We can travel to space by specially built rockets with a lot of technology using rocket power. There are
many different things that are sent into space by rockets. We send people on space missions! These

1
people train all their lives for this and are called Astronauts or Cosmonauts, but we can only send people
so far into space before their lives come into danger.

Before space rockets were ever invented, we needed to understand how space travel could work and how
people could spend periods of time in space without it becoming dangerous.We have observed parts of
the space and the solar system before we could send people. We have only reached a small distance of
space compared with the size of the universe.

It is very difficult to explain all the concepts of space travel without being an expert on space, but how
does space travel work?

Astronauts travel into space rockets launched from Earth. Attached to the rockets are space shuttles that
carry fuel and break from the rocket in space. The Orbiter, which is one of the main parts of the space
shuttle, is the part that travels into space with the Astronauts inside. The Orbiter makes the final trip to
the intended destination in space.

It really is way more complicated than how it is explained here.
