Life in Space

Since the beginning, people have looked into the sky

and wondered what it would be like to travel into space.

Today, we dont have to wonder anymore.

What is life like when you travel into space? Nobody knows better

than the people who have been there. Astronauts can help answer many

of our questions about living in space.

Astronauts must work hard and study for a long time before

they can travel into space. They are usually picked from many

people who want to train for this kind of work. It can take many

years to become an astronaut. But where do they start?

Brave Explorers

An astronaut is someone who travels from Earth to

learn more about life in space. The word astronaut

comes from the Greek words meaning star sailor .

Astronauts train for years before

they can go into space.

Johnson Space Center

The United States is one of the leading countries for training

astronauts. Astronauts in the U.S. begin their training at the Johnson

Space Center in Houston, Texas. The center first opened in 1961.

President Johnson congratulates

astronauts in front of the

Johnson Space Center.

Presidential Power

The Johnson Space Center

was named in honor of

former President Lyndon B.

Johnson, a Texas native. He

was president in the 1960s

during a worldwide push to

land people on the moon for

the first time.

The Johnson Space Center has a famous room

called the Mission Control Center . This is where people

on Earth direct the space missions and talk to astronauts in

space. They help the astronauts with the work they are doing.

The Mission Control Center also watches over the astronauts and

their spacecraft to be sure they are safe.

The Mission Control Center is where people

on Earth talk to astronauts in space.

NASA

NASA is the National Aeronautics and Space

Administration, founded in 1958. The Johnson Space

Center was created to be NASAs main center for the

design, development, and testing of spacecraft.

What do astronauts do at the Johnson Space Center? They spend a lot

of time in class, just like you do in school. They must learn the many skills

they will need during their space travels.

Astronauts travel into space in groups. They train with the people they

will work with in space. It is very important astronauts work well together

as a team. Every person has his or her own job to do. They succeed or fail

together, just as any team does.

A team of astronauts prepare to board their

space shuttle.

Astronauts also have to work with the people on Earth who

help them during their trips into space. Those people work in the

Mission Control Center. There is a lot of teamwork needed for

space travel!

Two astronauts work together to repair

the International Space Station.
