Both astronauts and space tourists will travel in space, but tourists are going to have a much different experience. Space tourists are going to travel for fun, not for work. So, they won’t have to worry about many of the technical problems that astronauts worry about. For example, space tourists won’t need to figure out how to use a screwdriver without gravity. And they aren’t going to try new experiments outside the space shuttle. For the most part, space tourists are just going to see the sights and have a good time. Still, there will be similarities. Regular activities will be the same for astronauts and space tourists. For example, eating, washing, and sleeping will turn into exciting challenges for everyone in space. Everyone is going to do exercises to stay fit in zero gravity. And both astronauts and tourists are going to have many new adventures!

You’ll get used to it!

Q: Will it take a long time to get used to zero gravity?
A: No, it won’t. Every day you will feel more comfortable, and after three days you will became used to being in space.

Q: Will I feel sick?
A: Yes, you might feel sick for a little while. But it last long.

Q: I love to read. How will I be able to keep a book open to the right page?
A: Actually, reading a book in space can be quite a problem. You will need strong clips to hold the book open. It can be a little frustrating at first, but after a while you will get used to it.

Q: Will I look the same?
A: Actually, you will look the same at all. Your face and eyes will get puffy. The first time you look in a mirror, you probably will recognize yourself.

Q: Will I float in my sleep?
A: Yes, if you are not tied down. And then you should be careful because you will bump into things all night long. Trust me. You can get hurt!

Q: I like salt and pepper on my food. Will I be able to use salt and pepper on my food?
A: Yes you will have salt and pepper, but not like you do on Earth—the grains just float away

Choose the future

Jason: I just heard the weather report. It’s going to rain tomorrow.
Ariel: Oh no. I hate driving in the rain. And it’s a long drive to the conference.

Jason: Wait! I have an idea. We’ll take the train instead.
Ariel: Good idea! Do you have a train schedule?

Jason: Yes. Here’s one. There’s train that leaves at 7:00 A.M.
Ariel: What about lunch? Oh, I know. I’ll make some sandwiches for us.

Jason: Ok. You know, it’s a long trip. What are we going to do all those hours?
Ariel: Don’t worry. We’ll think of something.

Jason: You know, we have to get up really early. I think I’ll go home now.
Ariel: Ok. I’ll see you tomorrow. Good night.

The awesome nineties.

Today’s blog is a walk down memory lane. Were you a kid in the 1990s? What toys did you use to play with? What did you use to watch on TV?

Did you use to watch cartoons Saturday mornings? I used to love Power Rangers. I acted out the stories with my friends. We didn’t use to play computer then. We used to collect the toys of power rangers. A game called Play Station appears in the 1990s. It used to be very popular in the school. My best friend Jose had one. We used to play in his home every Friday afternoons. We have a lot of contests with the neighborhoods. I didn’t win very often, but I love it anyway.

In the 1990s, my mother used to wear suits with big shoulders. She used to wear its in every family party. She said it looks sophisticated. She is a teacher and she used to use this suits on her school every Monday. My Uncle Carlos and his friends had a baseball team. They used to practice in the street or in the park. They never used to play with women. Carlos used to get a strange haircut. He’s mechanic now, and conserves that weird haircut.

1990s

Remember when Mario Bros used to be the most popular computer game? A Japanese guy brought Mario Bros to the world in 1985. In 2008 it received Record Guinness for Best-Selling Video Games. We used to play with Mario Bros in 1990s. The game appears only in NES, but then appear in others consoles.

We used to listen music on cassettes. In the 1970s, the cassette was one of the two most common formats for prerecord music. In 1982, CDs appear. Then we got used to hearing perfect sound. By the end of the 1990s, cassettes were out, and CDs were in.

Old pictures.

Anna: Wow! Grandpa Jesus used to have a lot of hair when she was young!
Catalina: Not for long. After this picture, his mother makes it cut.
Anna: In this picture, were you going to a party?
Catalina: No we used to wear that clothes everywhere.
Anna: You looked amazing!
Catalina: This is your Mom’s bike. She used to go everywhere on it.
Anna: That’s not my dad.
Catalina: No. That’s Juan. He used to be her best friends in the 1990s.
