Chris Cantell Discusses Science: Medzinarodna vesmirna stanica

Je to pravda, ze tu nie sme sami. Je tu s nami vo vesmire aj nieco ine. Minimalne su tam astronauti, ktori ziju na medzinarodnej vesmirnej stanici. Tato stanica bola postavena, aby sa stala prvym spolocnym miestom pre ludi, kde mozu studovat, pozorovat vesmir a Zem, kde mozu objavovat nove zakutia vedy.Tato stanica je jedinym miestom, kde ziju astronauti neustale. Menia sa kazdych sest mesiacov, ak je to mozne. Prva posadka vstupila na stanicu v roku 2000. Stanica sa nachadza na nizkej obeznej drahe Zeme vo vyske 360 Km. Je postavena z viacerych modulov. Niektore z nich su americke a ruske a prave teraz k nej budu pripajat jeden europsky, a coskoro v blizkej buducnosti aj jeden japonsky. Nevedela som o tom, ze k stanici je pripojena aj ruska vesmirna lod Sojuz, a sluzi pre pripad nahleho nebezpecia. Velkymi viditelnymi castami su solarne panely, ktore vyrabaju energiu pre celu stanicu.Premyslala som nad tym, co vsetko mozu astronauti robit na stanici pocas tych siestich mesiacov. Ja viem, ze su to tiez vedci a ze tam maju svoje misie. Ale sest mesiacov je velmi dlha doba. Dokazete si predstavit byt vo vesmire tak dlho, bez rodiny a s limitovanym kontaktom zo Zemou? Som si ista ze tam nemaju internet alebo telefon, takze by mohli zavolat komukolvek a kedykolvek. Viem si predstavit, ze ten pocit byt vo vesmire je uzasny, ale pred odchodom by som o tom dost popremyslala.
