I would not want to live on the ISS because I find it disgusting that they filter their urine and drink it afterward.

I would love to go to the ISS! I think conducting research in space is one of the best ways! I also think the closeness of everyone on the ISS is special! The view of earth would be amazing.

I would love to experience and enjoy every single moment of me living in the space station. It's one of those things which are thrilling, exciting, and awesome! I would really be curious and inquisitive about every single thing in space. Zero-gravity, weightlessness, and the beautiful view of the earth from the ISS would be some of the things I would love to experience. It would turn me into a child with amazing curiosity who wants to know how every single thing functions in space. How do astronauts eat, sleep, cry, work, move, speak..and a lot more questions. It would really be cool doing funny and crazy things that I have always imagined to do.

These is excellent. On the one side, this mission is very hard especially in staying clean. in conclusion, I respect astronauts and engineers who have stuffed rocket with cutting-edge equipment. Furthermore, Engineers and astronauts have important role in this process and they have to improve themselves , always learning, researching and observing

Yes, I would like to experience weightlessness and look at my home from space. On the other hand, the food seems to be horrible and I would miss my family.
