When the wind speed reached 74 miles per hour, the storm was officially a hurricane and was named Andrew. Then Andrew’s winds climbed to 175 miles per hour!

The difficult conditions in space require that astronauts go through demanding training. They must learn how to walk and work without gravity. They must practice wearing spacesuits.

Living in space is very different from living on Earth. On Earth we experience gravity, which is the force that pulls things towards Earth. However, in space gravity is much weaker. On Earth objects stay where they are put, while in space objects float unless they are tied down. If you throw a ball on Earth, gravity will make the ball drop back to the ground. In space, though, the ball would continue to move without falling. On Earth, water flows out of the faucet and into a glass. However, in space water would flow out a faucet and float in the air.
