Last Thursday two Russian astronauts and an American flew to the international space station. With our guest, Christophe Chaffardon, responsible for educational activities at the Cité de l’Espace in Toulouse, we discover the daily life of astronauts aboard a space station.
How do you become an astronaut? What is the preparation before going into space? Is there a space sickness? Is it true that astronauts grow in space? What do astronauts eat on the international space station? How is waste managed in space? How do astronauts keep in touch with their loved ones?
Our guest will also tell us how NASA managed to avoid the drama during the nightmarish Mission Apollo 13.
