Now, more and more countries are beginning to explore space to learn more about life beyond Earth. In the media, astronauts are regarded as heroes. That's why we are going to find out what life in a space station is really like.
Food in space can be a bit boring. In 2007, astronaut Sunita Williams took some sushi and a small tube (软管) of hot green sauce (酱汁) with her. Because there is no gravity (引力), when she pressed the tube, the sauce came out and flew everywhere. She cleaned most of it off the walls, but the smell stayed for a very long time. So this kind of sauce was put on a list of foods that mustn't be taken into space because it is "too dangerous".
Staying clean can be difficult in space. There are no showers, because water does not run down the body as it does on Earth. Without gravity, astronauts use small water guns like children's toys. With the water guns and some clothes, they can clean themselves.
Even astronauts have to sleep. Although sleeping without gravity can be very cozy, it also brings problems. Canadian astronaut Julie Payette once told reporters, "We sleep very well in space. Can you imagine? We each have a sleeping bag. We get inside and stay in it as it moves slowly in the station. So we just tie the bag to a safe place. This is a good idea, because at night we may move around and end up in a place we did not want to go."
Life in space is very different from life on Earth. It is fun, but also difficult and sometimes even dangerous. Astronauts are brave people, and we can learn a lot from their special lives in space.
