Have you ever wanted to see the stars up close? Have wanted to feel weightless or float around? If you answered yes to those questions, then you might be interested in a job as a astronaut. However being in astronaut is very hard. Not only being an astronaut’s hard on their body, but they need to train a lot before going into space, and they have difficult jobs to do while they are in space.
First, being in space is hard in an 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, their no gravity, so they have to exersise extra hard to keep their muscles and bones strong. If you see astronaut’ headed to space with a treadmill, now you know why.
Astronaut’s have to train a lot. According to source #1 “They have to train for hundreds of hours, they also have to study for years, astronauts take scuba diving class because it feels almost the same in space, they need to learn medical skills in case something goes wrong, There a many thing an astronauts must learn before going into space.”
astronauts are in space they have different jobs around the spacecraft. One astronaut could be the pilot who flys the spacecraft, One could be the guy who fixes things, Someone would the captain of it all.” According to source #1 all the astronauts has a special job on the team and each astronaut has to learn to work with no gravity.” The captain of them all has to make sure that everything goes right.
Astronauts do not have it easy. As you have read, going into space can harm an astronaut’s body. Even before going into space, they have to train for hours to prepare. Once they are in space they have difficult jobs to do. So next time you look at the stars drifting through the night sky, remember all the hard work astronauts did that to happen.
