  1. Skills : focus on space Life in space

  2. Life in space • Since 2000, highly-trained astronaut teams have traveled 350 kilometers out into space to live and work.

  3. Most astronauts go for about three months living in space is a bit like camping – you have to take everything, you need you use special equipment, and you have to dispose of your rubbish.

  4. We asked Bill Ross on the international space station to tell us about living in space.

  5. Food in space: • Almost all our food is in cans or dried. We even have to add water to drinks. We drink through a straw; otherwise liquids float around the cabin. There is no fridge, so we can't have cold drinks either. But there is a wide choice of food – soup, meat, vegetables, fruit, nuts and bread. We can also bring some favorites – mine is Chinese food.

  6. We get three meals a day and a snack. We have to worm up our meals before we open the packages. Food moves around in zero gravity so we can't eat off plates. We eat from the packages. We use straps to keep our food at the table. We don't use knifes or folks – and we don't use chairs. We simply float around the table!

  7. My taste changed in space – I like spicier food now. We all love chocolate and sweets. And we all look forward to the progress space freighter which bring us fresh food.
