Question

Attitude towards Space Trip

Do you want to spend a 10-day visit at the International Space Station? We have interviewed teenagers from around the world. They have different opinions about space trip.

Simon from England “There are so many beautiful places to see on the earth. I'd like to visit these places first before spending lots of money going into space. I think it should be cheap enough for everyone to go, not just the rich and famous.”

Ben from Canada “I think space travel is really bad for the space environment. We are sending more objects into space. When two objects in space crash, they break into smaller pieces and become space junk floating around. It's very dangerous for the tourists to travel in spaceship! ”

Maria from Germany “Whether you like it or not, space trip is going to be an important thing in the future. It's a great idea to travel in space. I hope in 50 years' time that taking a holiday in space will be common. I'd really love to do it.”

Yoko from Japan “Why do we want to travel into space? I'd rather go on holiday and stay in a hotel. It must be very boring to sit for hours in that small space shuttle（舱）. I'd like to take a plane and go to another place on the earth.”
