The

age

of

space

science

began

less

than

thirty

years

ago.

But

already

people

have

made

great

discoveries

and

have

done

exciting

things.

They

have

walked

in

space, visited the moon, and lived in space laboratories for long periods of time. Some

scientists

are

now

working

on

ways

to

make

it

possible

for

people

to

live

on

other

planets. They are trying to solve problems of living in space, even though they don’t

yet know what all of the problems will be. For example, they don’t’ yet know

what

problems people would have if they loved being weightless

for several years.

If

you were

a space traveler

you might

have to

spend several

months, or even

years, in a spaceship. While you were in the ship you wouldn’t live as you usually do.

You might have to find new ways to spend your time. Your body would have to adjust

to

different

conditions.

And

you

would

have

some

problems

that

you

never

think

about

here

on

earth.

For

example,

you

would

have

to

have

a

huge

supply

of

food

with

you

because

you

can’t

go

to

the

supermarket

when

you’re

halfway

to

another

planet. You also would need fresh water and a way to get rid of waste. In fact, there

would be many problems to solve in order to live in space.
