Daily Routine
… in Space!
Do you want to live in space1? The best place to live in space is on the

International Space Station. It is a place for people to learn more about space.

It is located2 between 330 and 435 kilometers above the earth. Life on the

Space Station is different. Like many people here on Earth, people there wake

up and brush their teeth, take showers and wash their hair. But they must be

very careful. They must be very careful because they don’t want to use lots of

water. They must use special3 soap4 and shampoo5. When they eat

breakfast, they must eat food they first bring with them from Earth. Again, they

must be careful because they don’t want their food to float6 away! After people

on the Space Station finish breakfast, they start their work. They don’t have to

take a bus or a taxi. Their work is on the Space Station! After work, the people

there must do exercise. It is not easy to stay strong in space, so they exercise

for more than two hours every day. They can exercise with running machines7

and cycling8 machines. For fun, people on the Space Station can read books,

watch movies, listen to music and look out the windows at Earth. One time

every week, they can also talk with their friends and families back home.
