A trip to space

by Jerry

10 October, 2017

I’m so happy! Tomorrow I’ll be one of the first students to travel into space. The spaceship will leave the Earth at 9 a.m. It’ll take us to the Moon. I can’t wait.

The Moon is around 380,000 kilometers from the Earth, so it’ll take us about four days to get there. There’s no gravity in space, so we’ll all be able to float around in the spaceship. We’ll have to tie ourselves to our beds so that we won’t float away in our sleep! Without gravity, our bodies may get weak, so we’ll have to do exercise every day.

When we arrive, I’m going to walk on the Moon. I’ll have to wear a spacesuit to help me breathe because there’s no air on the Moon. I’ m going to take as many photos as I can, that is, if my camera still works up there well.

【推荐2】任务型阅读：阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。

The moon goes around the earth every 27. 3 days. But do you know you can always only see one side of the moon? We call it the near side. The other side always turns away from us. We call it the far side or the dark side.

If you’re on the moon, you’ll be much lighter. You’ll weigh about one sixth of your weight on the earth. There are many places to go if you want to feel like you’re weightless.

Everybody knows that human have been on the moon, but not everyone knows that the moon now is like a picnic area. The astronauts left much rubbish after they left the place. Scientists estimate that there are 181, 437 kilograms of man-made materials(材料）.

Many believe that the full moon(满月) brings out the strangest acts in people, although science hasn’t been able to offer exact proof(证据).Research by scientists at Basel University in Switzerland has found that,around a full moon, people may take longer time to fall asleep, sleep less and sleep less deeply. Next time, if you can’t get to sleep, have a look out of the window. If there’s a full moon, it might not be your partner’s tossing and turning keeping you awake—it could be the full moon.

【推荐3】Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don't know is that junk has become a problem in outer space too.

According to BBC News, there are more than 22, 000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.

Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds, so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle (交通工具).

To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U. S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.

To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.

 Many scientists are also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.

 "The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers," says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space researcher.

 "The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become," he says.

Today, an increasing number of people are always looking at their mobile phones with their heads down. These people are called the “Heads-down Tribe”. Are you a heads-down tribe member? Heads-down tribe members now can be seen everywhere.

More and more traffic accidents are happening because more drivers use mobile phones when they are driving. In order to make drivers pay more attention to driving, some new traffic rules have been made. For example, people who use mobile phones while driving are fined. Cars drivers and motorcyclists who break the traffic rule will be fined, too.

As we can see above, using mobile phones may cause accidents and even cost lots of money. Also, more and more interesting and strange facts happen to the “Heads-down Tribe”.
