How Do Spacesuits Work?

Earlier today, I was lying down on my bed trying to make a list in my head of topics I have not yet covered about Earth and Space. Thinking about space, I was asking myself "How do spacesuits work?". That question kept ringing in my mind fo about a minute, before I fell asleep. Now that I'm wide awake (hopefully, completely), I decided that I wanted to find the answer to that very question. It wasn't a very easy task. It took me about half an hour to find the answer.

Spacesuits are designed to:

• Have a pressurized atmosphere
• Give you oxygen
• Remove Carbon Dioxide
• Allow you to communicate with other people (including people on Earth/astronauts)
• Allows flexible body movement
• Allows clear vision of what's going on.

My next research: How Do Astronauts Eat In Space?

Going to National Planetarium- I hope.

Hi everyone,
The title of this post already mentions it. I am planning to visit the National Planetarium (Planetarium Negara) with my dad. The thing is, I don't know if I can really go, as my cousins are here from Singapore and they're getting most of the so-called VIP spots. Whenever they want to go somewhere, they'll get it for sure. Then the rest of the family, including me has to follow them around like bodyguards. But that doesn't interupt my studying about space. Well, at least not completely.

There are a few reasons that I want to visit the Planetarium. Firstly, I want to feel what it's like floating in zero gravity. Secondly, and it's stated in the title, I want to become an astronaut when I grow up. Finally, the 4th Graders have been there and experienced the fun. Why not a 6th Grader?

Anyway, I will still post on this blog when I find the time to. Got exams up soon.
