Space and Beyond.
A. When Denis Tito stepped out of a space shuttle in the early hours of May 6th 2001, he had a big smile on his face. He had just spent seven days in space and had become the world’s first space tourist. He had paid $20 million dollars for his trip on the Russian Soyuz rocket. He was not the first non-astronaut in space though. In 1984, the engineering company Mc Donnell Douglas gave NASA $66,000 to take Charlie Walker, a person who worked for them, on their STS-41D flight to do some research.
B. A space shuttle takes 90 minutes to orbit the Earth. In these 90 minutes, Daylight and night time constantly change for the astronauts. In fact, they see 16 sunsets and 16 sunrises! Altogether, 45 minutes of the journey are spent in daylight, and 45 minutes in the dark.
C. Astronauts on the shuttle can choose from about 100 different food items and 50 drinks. However, a word of warning – the taste of food often changes in space and your favourite food on the ground might taste disgusting 200 kilometres above the earth.
D. The Russians were the first to travel into space but the Americans were the first to send a man to the moon. When Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the moon, millions were watching him on TV back home. Of course, everyone knows Armstrong was the first man on the moon. But did you know that this Apollo 11 mission left a plaque in the moon? It says, ‘Here men from the planet Earthfirst set foot upon the Moon July 1969, A.D. We came in peace for all mankind.’
E. Space travel has always been a dangerous business. Two of the most tragic accidents in the last 30 years were the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle disasters. In 1986 the Challenger had only been in the sky for a minute when it exploded. In 2003 the Columbia broke up while it was re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere. On bith flights all seven members of the crew died.
