Hello, Mr. Wang. Hi, I'm Catherine. My friends and I are designing a travel brochure for a trip into space.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,000
But we need to learn more about future space travel.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Well, Catherine, you've come to the right place. Welcome to Starship 2040.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Thanks. Do you really think there will be tourists in space?

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Yes, and probably in your lifetime.

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Every day, scientists, engineers, and highly trained people are working to make space travel a reality.

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000
In the next 40 years, we're looking at vacationing, working, and even living in space.

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Wow, that would be awesome. So how do you travel in space?

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
With systems like this. This is a navigation and vehicle health monitoring system.

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Crew will need to access information like this throughout the ship.

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000
That makes sense. This isn't what I think it is, is it?

12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Yes, it is, but it is modified. It's more than likely that your ship won't have any gravity.

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,000
So therefore, the bathrooms will have to be changed so you can wash your hands, brush your teeth, or even take a shower.

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Is this the toilet?

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Yes, and you must remember the phrase, always buckle up.

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,000
This is really important when using the bathroom in space, because if you don't, a really big mess can happen.

17
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000
We don't want that. Using the bathroom would be kind of weird.

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Yes, and of course, after you finish using the restroom, you need to wash your hands.

19
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
So you can use this washing facility.

20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Why are there chairs on the ceiling?

21
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,000
That's simple. When traveling in low gravity, every floor can be a ceiling and every wall can be a floor.

22
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000
You can float from deck to deck.

23
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
I would have a great time floating around, but what else can you do for fun?

24
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Well, you have your own personal entertainment center.

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
You can watch movies, play games, or even surf the space net.

26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Or one day, you can even talk to your friends face to face.

27
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
That sounds like my kind of travel.

28
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
We learned in the case of the biological biosphere how important it is to exercise.

29
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Do you have any exercise equipment for space travel?

30
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
We sure do. Without gravity, the human body gets lazy.

31
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Today's fittest astronauts even have to exercise at least two hours to stay in shape.

32
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,000
They have a stair stepper, a climbing wall, and a treadmill that you can stay in shape with while you're in space.

33
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,000
How do you eat while traveling in space?

34
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Well, the Starship has a self-serving kitchen.

35
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
You pre-select your meals before you go on your trip.

36
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,000
And once you're hungry, you dial them up and they're prepared just the way you like them.

37
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Wow, this trip will be so cool. I can't wait until the year 2040.

38
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Thanks, Mr. Wang, for all your help.

39
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
You're welcome. Send me a copy of your travel brochure when you're done.

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
We might just want to use it one day.
