"We're in THE SPACE SHUTTLE! The air in the SHUTTLE is cleaner than the air on the Earth. The temperature is between 16 and 32 degrees Centigrade, so it's not too hot, and we can wear ordinary clothes. The food is delcious! There is no gravity inside the space shuttle. So we don't need tables and chairs. We eat on trays. We tie trays to our legs. We sleep in bunk beds, one bed on top of the other. We can lie down or stand up when we sleep. We haven't got matresses on the beds. The hard beds feel soft, because there is no weight in space..."
