International Space Station It is a multi-nation construction project that is the largest single structure humans ever put into space. Its main construction was completed between 1998 and 2011, although the station continually evolves to include new missions and experiments. It generally holds crews of between three and six people. After the Columbia space shuttle disaster in 2003, crews were as small as two people. Work in pairs and guess whether they would be useful for astronaut in space. √ soap towel guitar shower mircowave pen tape tissue √ √ √ √ √ √ Max is interviewing Captain Brown about his life in space.

Are you happy to be back? Well, yes and no. It’s great to see my family again, but I also miss the International Space Station. I’ve gotten used to floating around just wearing shorts and a T-shirt. So let me ask about the space station. Was eating in space difficult? Not really. We don’t have to cook in space. We choose what we want to eat before we go to space, and then the food is prepared and stored for us. We just have to heat the food and enjoy it. Cool. Well, I know astronauts cannot shower in space since the water would float away, so I’d love to know how you keep yourselves clean. Interview text Captain Brown: Oh, we use a soapy towel to wash. And we brush our teeth the same way as we do on Earth. But astronauts usually swallow their toothpaste. Interviewer: Gosh, I hope it tasted good! So how long did you stay in space during your last mission? Captain Brown: I was there for more than five months. Interviewer: Wow! So what kind of work did you do up there? Captain Brown: I was usually busy doing different experiments. Interviewer: Did you have any free time? Do astronauts get time off? Captain Brown: Yes. When I was free, I played the guitar. That’s right-I took my guitar with me. I also played chess. My favourite thing to do, though, was to have my weekly video call with my family. 12 Work in groups.
