If you dream of becoming a spaceman after you grow up, get started now! A spaceman needs a strong body and mind. See here what Shenzhou VI spacemen are able to do. Don’t you still have a long way to go?

Shenzhou VI spacemen are able to live upside down(头朝下).

They did this not just during sleep, but also when eating and going to the toilet. Before they flew into space, they had had lots of practice. Each upside-down training time lasted for 20 days.

In Shenzhou VI, Chinese spacemen aren’t just spaceship drivers but also machine repairers and scientists.

They have to know every part of the spaceship and how it works. If something goes wrong, they must know how to repair it. Also they do scientific experiments in space.

Shenzhou VI spacemen know how to live in the wild. They took a knife, a gun and some dye(染料) with them into space. If they land in forests, the knife and gun can protect them from wild animals. If they fall into the sea, the dye can color the water around them yellow. This can help people find them easily on the sea.

Shenzhou VI spacemen can’t get dizzy(眩晕的). A spaceship is not a plane. When it goes up, the extra gravity force(重力) can break people’s bones. Spacemen must have strong bodies for this. They can’t get a headache or be sick. With many things to take care of, they’ve got no time for sickness.

Anoussheh Ansari, an Iranian-American business woman, began her short but exciting journey on September 18.

It was reported that Ansari paid $20 million to take a trip on the Russian spaceship and visit the International Space Station. A US-Russian group went with her.

To do the mission(任务)

On her 10-day mission, she would spend two days circling Earth and eight days at the International Space Station. She would perform a series of experiments.

Like a space professional

Ansari had been trained for 6 months, and when training she did a serious and nervous job. “I was quite surprised by her skills. She has easily become part of the group. One could think we’d been working for years together,” Russian astronaut Mikhail Tyurin said at a meeting.

To promote space exploration

Ansari hates to be called a tourist because she thinks spaceflight is much more than that. She views herself as an ambassador for attracting private investment(吸引私人投资的特使) to spaceflight, a way to make great progress in space exploration.

Iranian flag on the spacesuit

Ansari had planned to wear an Iranian flag on her spacesuit, which caused heated discussion. “I wasn’t trying to make a political statement(声明), just a personal statement,” she explained. Ansari, who lived in Iran until she was a teenager, wanted Iranian people to be proud of her. She said. “People will see someone born in Iran flying into space.”
