Many people have travelled by plane but very few get an opportunity to travel in space. A great step in space travel was made when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon on July 21, 1969. The spacecraft they took was called Apollo 11, They took Photographs, collected some tiny racks and planted a flag on the Moon, Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma was the first Indian to travel in space. He was an Air Force pilot and was chosen to travel on the Soyuz - 11 into space. 2. Now, space travel is becoming more frequent, so the astronauts need a place to stay in Space. A space station is like a home in space, where astronauts live, work and sleep, Inside a space station, everything floats. So, the astronauts have to be careful especially while eating there. They strap their food trays, otherwise trays can float away. 3. Staying clean is also harder in space. There is no shower or bathtub, so they have to take a Sponge bath. They can brush their teeth the regular way, but have to be careful that toothpaste globs don't drift away. All the trash and garbage have to be put in bags and brought back to Earth. 4. One of the most important things astronauts must do everyday in space is exercise, to stay strong and fit. Living in space is an exciting experience.
