Life in space
Have you ever wanted to see the stars up close? Have you ever wanted to feel weightless? If you answered yes to those questions, then you might be interested in a job as an astronaut. However, the job of being an astronaut is very hard. Not only is an astronaut hard on their body, but they need to train a lot before going into space, and they have difficult jobs to do
while in space.
First, being in space is hard on the on the astronaut’s
body. According to source #2, “Astronaut’s other muscles and their bones can also get weaker.” On earth, we run around and exercise with gravity, which helps our muscles and bones grow strong. In space, there is no gravity, so astronauts have to exercise extra hard to keep their muscles and bones strong. If you see astronauts headed to space with a treadmill, now you know why.
Second, not only do the astronauts need to exercise they also need to train a LOT so when they go to space so they are prepared. Some of the astronauts scuba dive before going to space. They also need to exercise in space too. Basically they need to exercise every where but a lot more in space. But it is hard on the family too because the astronaut can’t spend much time with its family the astronaut.
Third, an astronaut’s job in space is not that easy. Some of the astronauts in space fly the space ships. Some fix things.some even do science. But all of these jobs matter because they are all important.
Conclusion, an astronaut’s life isn’t that easy. As you have read, just going to space can harm an astronaut’s body. Even before an they go into space, they have to train for hours to prepare. Once they are in space, they have a difficult jobs to do. So next time you look up at the stars and see a satellite drifting through the night sky, remember all the hard work astronaut’s did to make that happen.
