Interview text
Interviewer: Hello, Captain Brown. You’re back on Earth now. Are you happy to be back
Captain Brown: Well, yes and no. It’s great to see my family again, but I also miss the International Space Station. I’ve gotten used to floating around just wearing shorts and a T-shirt.
Interviewer: So let me ask about the space station. Was eating in space difficult
Captain Brown: Not really. We don’t have to cook in space. We choose what we want to eat before we go to space, and then the food is prepared and stored for us. We just have to heat the food and enjoy it.
Interviewer: Cool. Well, I know astronauts cannot shower in space since the water would float away, so I’d love to know how you keep yourselves clean.
Interview text
Captain Brown: Oh, we use a soapy towel to wash. And we brush our teeth the same way as we do on Earth. But astronauts usually swallow their toothpaste.
Interviewer: Gosh, I hope it tasted good! So how long did you stay in space during your last mission
Captain Brown: I was there for more than five months.
Interviewer: Wow! So what kind of work did you do up there
Captain Brown: I was usually busy doing different experiments.
Interviewer: Did you have any free time Do astronauts get time off
Captain Brown: Yes. When I was free, I played the guitar. That’s right-I took my guitar with me. I also played chess. My favourite thing to do, though, was to have my weekly video call with my family.

C: That sounds like a good question. But I'd also like to know about how astronauts sleep. Since there's not much gravity, what do they do so as not to float around while they sleep
A: I wonder how they get exercise on space - it's not like they can go out jogging.
C: I'd never thought of that. But then, after they exercise, I'm very keen to find out how they wash their clothes.
B: Never mind that: I'd really like to find out how women astronauts wash their hair.
A: But we're forgetting the most important question of all, aren't we
C: And what's that
A: Well, I'd really like to find out what they do when they meet aliens.
