Problems with living in zero gravity as faced by astronauts.
1. Drinks must be kept in sealed containers and drunk through a straw or they’ll float off.
2. Avoid crumbly food as crumbs float away around the spacecraft and can get into everything.
3. When you sleep, you have to be strapped tightlyinto a sleeping bed attached to a wall.
4. It’s confusing it’s no up or down in zero gravity, so ceili...ngs, walls, and floors are all the same.
5. You have to be firmly attached to a space toilet with Velcro and a good sealso nothing floats away! The toilet is flushed with a jet of air.
6. Long-term weightlessness causes weakening of a person’s muscles and bones. You need to exercise, or you’ll be too weak to walk out ofthe spacecraft when you get back to Earth.
