It is very difficult to do anything in space, and your mental strength is greater than your imagination.

Life in space is not easy. One of the most difficult things is to give another astronaut a haircut in the space capsule. But experienced astronaut Terry Vilt did it. He served in the US Air Force for many years, walked in space, piloted fighter planes and spaceships, and experienced many survival tests.

She said that to get a haircut in the space capsule, because there was no gravity, he had to prepare a bottle of spray bottled water and a vacuum cleaner. While cutting his hair, he kept it moist, and at the same time he quickly sucked the cut hair away to prevent the scattered hair from flying around in the weightless space capsule.

20 16 Mr. Terry, who retired, shared his many years of experience with you, hoping to let you know the interesting side, realistic side or sad side of astronauts in performing their tasks.

In the new book, he tells everyone how uncomfortable it is to wear a spacesuit and how beautiful the earth is from the universe. He said that the moment when the spaceship rose from the earth to space was the most exciting. The feeling of spacewalking can't be described in words, like you are the only one left in the world and there is an endless universe.

He said that the first thing to get used to in the universe is weightlessness. In order not to hurt themselves, astronauts should do everything slowly to adapt to floating. Because there is no gravity, it is difficult to get dressed. In order to get dressed, inexperienced astronauts often bump or jump around in the space capsule.

He joked: [Everything in space becomes difficult except pull-ups. ]

Terry's book also says to get used to being alone in space. He compared the benefits of living on earth with those of living in space. His life in space made him more accustomed to and enjoy loneliness. Last year, COVID-19 and other astronauts stayed in the space station for a few more months, because he was rampant on the earth. He said that these days made him more aware of the importance of being alone. The way for him to survive loneliness in space is to tell himself over and over again: [This is not permanent, your willpower and spiritual strength are greater than your imagination! ]

Instead of repeatedly worrying about not knowing when he will return to Earth, Terry kills time by studying his interest-photography. During this period, he took some beautiful photos of the earth. In addition, he also told everyone to keep the habit of exercising in the uncertain waiting, and not to leave yourself alone for too long, or to get along with people again and again. Even if the situation seems to be getting worse, don't think the worst.

He said: [I told myself again and again that becoming an astronaut was my childhood dream. At that time, people around me repeatedly told me it was impossible, but I did it! If you want to do something, just do it! ]
