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. They must even learn how to eat and sleep while weightless. Many different machines help the astronauts prepare for the problems faced in space travel. Some machines are simulators, or machines that re-create some of the conditions of outer space here on Earth.
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.
