Almost everyone has a question or two about living in space. What is life really like in space? And what do astronauts do there?
Astronauts living in space have the same hygiene(卫生) needs as people do on the earth. When they wake up, they wash their hair, brush their teeth and go to the bathroom as well. However, because of microgravity(微重力), astronauts have to use a kind of special matter to wash their hair and use leg restraints(安全装置) to place themselves when they use the toilet.
Astronauts eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some food can be eaten in the natural form such as fruit. Other food needs water such as noodles. There are no fridges in space, so space food must be stored and prepared correctly and they won't go bad.
Besides morning routine (常规) and eating in space, astronauts perform many tasks, such as checking the machines and updating(更新)computer equipment. At the same time, the control centre on the earth sends messages to the astronauts through voice or email with new instructions to help them with their daily work.
What's more, living in space is not just all work and no play. They can enjoy themselves by looking out of the window, watching movies, reading books, playing cards and talking to their families during their free time.
