Interview text
Interviewer: Hello, Captain Brown. You’re back on Earth now. Are you happy to be back
Captain Brown: Well, yes and no. It’s great to see my family again, but I also miss the International Space Station. I’ve gotten used to floating around just wearing shorts and a T-shirt.
Interviewer: So let me ask about the space station. Was eating in space difficult
Captain Brown: Not really. We don’t have to cook in space. We choose what we want to eat before we go to space, and then the food is prepared and stored for us. We just have to heat the food and enjoy it.
Interviewer: Cool. Well, I know astronauts cannot shower in space since the water would float away, so I’d love to know how you keep yourselves clean.
Interview text
Captain Brown: Oh, we use a soapy towel to wash. And we brush our teeth the same way as we do on Earth. But astronauts usually swallow their toothpaste.
Interviewer: Gosh, I hope it tasted good! So how long did you stay in space during your last mission
Captain Brown: I was there for more than five months.
Interviewer: Wow! So what kind of work did you do up there
Captain Brown: I was usually busy doing different experiments.
Interviewer: Did you have any free time Do astronauts get time off
Captain Brown: Yes. When I was free, I played the guitar. That’s right-I took my guitar with me. I also played chess. My favourite thing to do, though, was to have my weekly video call with my family.
China launches Shenzhou-18 manned spaceship
Post-listening
JIUQUAN -- China on Thursday launched the Shenzhou-18 manned spaceship to send three taikonauts to its orbiting Tiangong space station for a six-month mission.
The spaceship, atop a Long March-2F carrier rocket, blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China.
The Shenzhou-18 crew members are Ye Guangfu, Li Cong and Li Guangsu, with Ye as the mission commander, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
The Shenzhou-18 mission marks Ye's second journey into space, following his previous role as a crew member during the Shenzhou-13 mission from October 2021 to April 2022. Li Cong and Li Guangsu are both on their first-ever space adventure.
