Read the passage about Astronauts.
Astronauts have an exciting and adventurous life. Those who are on a mission and travel into space may be required to spend weeks in the spacecrafts. The absence of gravity in space makes astronauts float inside the spacecraft and they have to push themselves off the walls of the spacecraft to move above. Not just the astronauts, every little free object floats freely in the spacecraft. Astronauts travelling in space have to eat very carefully, lest the food gets into their nose or eyes, and they have to drink through straws fixed in containers. Strips of Velcro are extremely useful in holding on to small things and preventing them from floating about in the spacecraft. Having a bath is a novel experience. Astronauts wipe their bodies with a damp sponge and they use a special shampoo that doesn't have to be rinsed off. Sleeping peacefully can be quite an ordeal. The men and women aboard the spacecraft have to strap themselves to their beds so that they don't float away while sleeping ! Astronauts miss home and their Friends; they communicate with people on earth through emails and something they even get to chat with them. When the astronauts have to work outside the spacecraft, they have to wear a space suit which is equipped with all the things they need to survive in space. It's incredible how the space suit controls the body temperature and also provides them with the air they need to breathe. Astronauts face numerous challenges, but their adventurous spirit gives them the way to carry out their missions with tremendous patience and caution.
