Have you ever thought about what it is like to live on a space station 360 kilometres above planet Earth?0:06
Cosmonauts and astronauts say that living in microgravity is fun.0:14
It's like swimming in water, only you feel much lighter.0:19
But if you stay in microgravity for months, your muscles become softer and your bones become thinner.0:22
That's why astronauts must regularly do a lot of special exercises in microgravity.0:30
They don't need a bed.0:38
They can even sleep flying in the middle of the room.0:40
But they don't do it because the room is not that big and they can easily touch computer controls in their sleep.0:43
So at night, they use sleeping bags hanging from the walls.0:50
Sleeping in space is difficult at first because they don't know what to do with their floating neck, arms and legs.0:54
But they agree that very soon it becomes comfortable and relaxing.1:02
Space food needs to stay fresh for a long time.1:07
Nowadays, space stations have fridges.1:12
They allow people in the space station to eat more or less common meals.1:14
And their food may include food.1:19
Fruit, vegetables and even ice cream.1:21
Some food comes in special plastic bags, some is dry.1:24
It's important that space food is tasty and is getting better and better.1:29
When meal time comes, all the residents of the station come to the table.1:34
To keep their meals from floating away, they sometimes use a special kind of scotch that allows them to eat with a spoon and a fork.1:39
The problems begin when some food or drink gets out of the container.1:48
Then it floats off and the station residents have to catch and swallow it before it gets on one of the computers.1:53
Our health depends very much on personal hygiene.2:01
The space station has no shower, because water from a shower can fly in all directions.2:05
So the residents use wet towels and special shampoo to wash their hair.2:11
It doesn't need to be washed off with water.2:16
As you see, astronauts do everything possible to stay healthy and fit, to be able to do their everyday work, which is not at all easy.2:20
