As you know, today the ISS astronauts have the opportunity to go to Internet and communication with earthlings – directly from space. And so, timed to the three hundredth anniversary of his stay on space station, Scott Kelly, who is its commander and chief botanist, decided to organize a kind of online meeting with those who are interested in the development of astronautics on Earth.
The most popular Reddit portal last Sunday, i.e. yesterday, arranged such a session for his subscribers, during which Internet users had the opportunity to ask the astronaut any questions that interest them. One of the most topical issues exclusively interested everyone, became this: in what position Scott sleeping on the ISS and what does he dream about in space?
The astronaut replied that in space it is much more difficult to sleep than on The earth. Due to the lack of gravity, the human body is in the same position both during wakefulness and during sleep. All it doesn’t sleep well, in general it doesn’t matter, and he has to plugging ears with birch because noisy equipment prevents a man to sleep calmly.
In space, almost all astronauts, the ISS commander admitted, dream some kind of “crazy” dreams concerning both the Earth and space generally. What is this, Internet users have not understood, and Kelly immediately began to talk about something else.
He admitted that he was very surprised at the time, how it smells space. If you open, and then close the hatch, from the open outer space on the ISS bursts the smell of burning metal. Why so, the astronaut is not able to explain.
Scott also said that in space all sorts of corns after a few weeks, the heels become soft and soft, as in a baby, which is very surprising.
Users asked the astronaut many more questions, but most of them were either off topic or purely personal, for this reason we will not give evasive answers to them Scott Kelly We only emphasize that the meeting was held in a warm the atmosphere and liked, as it seems to us, and that, and the other side this intimate conversation.
