A. Holiday-makers in space

B. Yuri Gagarin, the first cosmonaut

C. Outer space as a workplace

D. Father of rocket science

E. The flight that changed the world

1.The history of space exploration in Russia started with Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, a maths teacher from Kaluga. Tsiolkovsky never built or launched a rocked but he was the first person to understand the main ideas behind rocket scince – as early as 1903. He predicted and solved mani of the problems in rocket engineering, and he made designs for several rockets. He dreamt of a space age.

2.It was nearly 60 years before Tsiolkovsky’s dream came true. On 12’th April, 1961, at exactly 9.07 a.m. Vostok 1 lifted off for it’s 108-minute flight. There was one man inside – Yuri Gagarin, a soviet pilot and the first person in the world to fly into outer space. During his one orbit around the earth, Gagarin had some food and water; so he was also the first person to eat and drink in conditions of weightlessness. He didn’t have a camera to take photos, but he observed different parts of the earth.

3. Gagarin’s flight started a new stage in the history of exploration. It made more space travel possible. Now, 50 years later, many cosmonauts and engineers from different countries have made flights to outer space. Some of them have stayed in space for several months. They have done a lot of research and experiments.

4. In the 1990s Russian scientists started thinking about sending tourists into outer space. The world’s first space tourist was American millionaire, Dennis Tito. He went on an eight-day holiday in May 2001 in a Russian spaceship. He visited the International Space Station and landed afterwards in Kazakhstan with the two other members of the flight team. “I was worried that I might not feel well in space”, he said, “but I felt the best I’ve felt in my whole life. It was a trip to paradise”. Space scientists are now discussing the next idea: two-week space holiday with a trip around the moon $100 million. . . anyone interested?

6. Living Amond the Stars

1. How would you like to live three hundred and sixty kilometers above the Earth, flying at almost thirty thousand kilometers an hour through dark, airless space? Well, that’s exactly how the astronauts working on the giant international Space Station (ISS) live. “ Cool!” you might say. Well… maybe. Let’s take a look at what it’s really like to live in space

2. Living in zero gravity means doing lots of things differently. First of all, you can forget about having a nice hot shower in the morning, as the water droplets would simply float away. Astronauts have to use a vacuum hose to wash with. Also, when muscles don’t have to work against gravity as they do here on Earth, they go soft. So the residents of the ISS actually spend 2 hours a day working out on exercise bikes and rowing machines.

3. There’s no escape from household chores on the ISS. As dangerous bacteria grow quickly in zero gravity, the astronauts clean the whole station every day, which is about the size of a football pithc! Also the lack of gravity makes the simplest things in live seem quite weird! Take eating for example, to stope their meals floating away, astronauts have to “post” food packages into a special tray and then strap the tray to their legs. At least there’s no washing up to do, though. The astronauts simply put their dirty dishes and rubbish into plastic bags and send them back to Earth.

4. When it comes to sleeping, there’s no need for a bedroom! The astronauts could sleep anywhere, but they can’t risk bumping into any computer controls so they strap themselves into a sleeping bag in the wall. It’s a truly relaxing experience, as nothing presses against the skin. It’s important to cover your eyes, however, to block out the light of the sun as the sun rises and sets every 45 minutes when you are orbiting the Earth.

5. So, when astronauts aren’t doing experiments or chores or repairing equipment, do they get any free time? Well, a little! They often send emails back home, read books or watch movies, but most of all they like to stare out of the window and take pictures of their real home, Earth!

“Every day aboard a space shuttle is different in many ways, but you’re always busy up there!” said crew member Leroy Chiao when we asked him to tell us about a typical day on a mission in orbit.

Every ‘morning’, Mission Control wakes the crew up with music at exactly 6:41pm CST (Central Standard Time – that’s the same time that people in Chicago use). The pieces of music are always different. 1(..) After that, they have a couple of hours to wash, have breakfast and get the ‘morning’ messages from Mission Control. Washing isn’t easy in space, and it’s impossible to have a shower, so the crew wash themselves with a wet sponge. Shaving is also, a difficult task up there, so the men have to use special ‘space’ razoprs.

At around 8:45 pm CTS, the crew starts work. Most of the time they work on projects involving satellites and the shuttle itself. They also take photos of their activities and the view from the shuttle to send home. Each day there are also two six-hour space walks. “We have between eight and ten minutes to do each task,” says Leroy, “so we have to work very closely and help each other.” The crew take a short break for lunch during the ‘afternoon’.

2(..) According to NASA, the crew’s special meals are “ tasty and very good of them”. After lunch, they go back to work until around 8:45 am CTS.

“ Fortunately, it’s not all no play aboard the space shuttle”, says Leroy.” 3(..) “Most of us read and send our personal e-mail in this free time, but we also like to read books or listen to music. Sometimes we sit by the window and admire the Earth and the stars “. After that, at exactly 10:41 am CTS, it’s time for the crew to go to bed, while Mission Control and the shuttle’s computers take over for the ‘night’.
