Read an extract from an interview with an astronaut. Decide if the statements are True, False, or Not stated. Interviewer: How do you eat in space? Do you have to eat dehydrated food all the time? Astronaut: Talking about food, we're now much luckier than the astronauts of the 20th century. Dehydrated meals are still in use, but after the big innovation in MREs, the diet became more diverse and delicious, including non-dehydrated meals. For example, some chefs from top restaurants of Paris have been hired to provide us with food. Anyway, you should be careful while eating as the food can easily float away! Fun fact: we can drink water right from our spacesuits, as there are special drink bags with straws installed in them. Interviewer: What about the showering? Is it possible to bathe in zero gravity? Astronaut: As it's urgent to keep personal hygiene in space, we certainly take it seriously. First of all, each of the space station residents has got a personal hygiene kit — it consists of your own toothpaste, toothbrush, razor, and a comb. Taking shower is possible only inside a special tube that prevents water from getting into the air. The saddest thing is washing our hair — you can only go with dry shampoo! Interviewer: What is the worst thing about living on a space station? Astronaut: I think that the worst thing that can happen to an astronaut is a simple case of claustrophobia. Have you ever felt uncomfortable and restricted in a small space like a lift? At the International Space Station, you need to move through narrow corridors and share your living space with several people from all over the world. Moreover, the lack of gravity causes quite unusual feelings — sometimes it's difficult to understand where you are and how you're moving. There's a possibility of becoming extremely claustrophobic! Interviewer: Have you got any free time? Astronaut: As in other jobs, we certainly have some free time (not much after all the duties though). What do we usually do then? Personally, I would surf the Internet, check my email, or call my family and friends, nothing special. It's really disappointing that the Internet connection updates only a few times a day. And of course, it's always important to find some time for yourself — just chill and stay with your thoughts for a while. It's very easy to relax in low gravity as nothing presses against your skin. Astronauts eat only natural (non-dehydrated) meals. Astronauts can't drink tea aboard the spaceship. Astronauts can use water in low-gravity conditions. Astronauts work out every day. Astronauts have unlimited Internet access. Astronauts mostly spend their free time online.
