READING (20 POINTS)

This week, our reporters interviewed astronaut Bud Warlow about his career in space.
How did you become an astronaut?
Well, I had always dreamt about being astronaut. Even before I went to school, the
Universe had always interested me. I studied Computer Science at university and when I was
twenty-four, I trained to be a pilot and flew planes for five years. When I was twenty-nine, I
joined a space research programme and started to prepare to go into space. I’ve been working
as an astronaut for twenty-five years now!
What is your favourite part of the job?
That we still don’t know everything about space. Our Solar System is still full of puzzles to be
solved. We may not find the answers to many of our questions in our lifetime, but I think that’s
exciting.
 What has been your greatest achievement?
Working for six years on the International Space Station (ISS) has been the best part of my
career so far. I was in my thirties and it was incredible. The views of Earth were the best thing
about working there. Oh, and you float because there’s very little gravity, so that’s fun too!
What are the benefits of space research?
There are so many. We conduct a lot of experiments that help with advances in medicine and
other fields. The ISS has a system that takes up to 1,000 images of Earth on a daily basis, too.
This can help us respond quickly to things like floods, fires and earthquakes.
Finally, what advice would you give to teenagers who are thinking about a career in
space exploration or research?
If you work hard, you will most certainly reach your goals. Move heaven and earth to achieve
your dreams and don’t give up!
