Space, life in orbit of Samantha Cristoforetti between Christmas decorations … – The Messenger

end of the world, even on the space station in orbit 400 kilometers, not escaped the routine of everyday life and traditions of the land, that they are pleasant or less pleasant. So the weekend is spent putting Samantha Cristoforetti, between an experiment and the other because there are more than 150 to follow, chores, being made “domestic” and customs related to the calendar. In short, the maintenance of the toilet-cleaning to Christmas ornaments.

FAZIO AND SUGAR

 Activities interrupted by a surprise, that the greetings of Zucchero Fornaciari, declared itself a big fan of his, and the exchange of tweets – now a fixture – with What t ime ago and Fabio Fazio, in love with space adventures to the point now alongside regular Astrosamantha Filippa and Lucianina. “Since some UFO?” Question astrofabio. “Yes, many, already cataloged with the barcode ‘answers with pique astrosamantha.

 From his diary board Avanmposto42.esa.int says then: “To live well, to be human, in short, as you can imagine, a toilet that works is certainly part of that. So for the first time I was able to access the bowels of our beloved toilet space for a routine operation relatively simple: fill the water tank drain. “

RECYCLED LIQUID

 After recalling that colleagues have completed “successfully a maintenance task very complex multi-day of one of our two Cdra Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly,” (which actually sounds very much space for a toilet, ed) Samantha explained how the errands we would say these things, but you can not say, Terra Terra: “We have a real cup of the toilet to flush, but at the beginning of each use, when we turn on the fan to create the necessary suction, a certain amount of chemical passes through the pipes. That water discharge must be replenished. Normally, we only need to reconfigure the valves to allow water to flow in sarbatoi, but it has been shown that this causes a bit ‘of pressure that triggered the fault LEDs in the past. So now we have a configuration to provide an outlet for pressure while topping up. ” Well, think about it every time impugneremo back the bottle of toilet-net and also remember that the liquid wa ste (we understand) that pass from the toilet space ISS are recycled and turned into drinking water.

THE VIRAL VIDEO

 Remember that about toilet ISS the video clicked all is the one listed here : with all American pragmatism, the commander Sunita Williams showed all but just everything about life on the station. The detail on the toilet is at the fifth minute.

 Staying enough topic and knowing that the dashboard of the space station was never hung a magic arbre, Samantha then answered the second classical question about life in space station (the first is always the one on the toilet): “Something that people is often asked is: that smell is the Space Station? I was actually very curious, too, because I had heard conflicting reports. To be honest, they are not able to recognize any particular smell, it seems fairly neutral, the filters do a great job. Only our Soyuz has a characteristic odor, not sure which, but it is very dear to me: every time we float inside, instantly brings me back to the day of the lau nch. “

TRADITIONS

 Faccede from domestic to those linked to tradition: as semprr towards these days, some of the closet Iss sprout Christmas decorations that enliven the lives of astronauts yes closer to us angels announcing and comets, but so far away from the family. All immortalized in another tweet inevitable. Oh, by the way: the departure, on November 23, astrosamantha had 146 thousand followers, now, after two settimanem are 198 thousand, if not a record close enough.

SURPRISE

 Finally the improvised Sugar: the artist on tour in Germany was in Monaco for three concerts all’Olympiahalle and knowing the passion of the astronaut for his music has promoted an original connection going in the German base and earning the “Welcome to space “paryte from the first Italian astronaut. “A great thrill – responded Sugar – for someone like me who suffers from vertigo.” Then a gift: “I will send you a song: I die for you.” Sure apt: One step away from Jerusalem / and just a mile from the moon / under a sky with millions of stars / my heart is lost in a distant planet / turning around and falling down with arcs of sadness / I die for you.
