Lance's Lab - Matthew


Lance Bass is a rock star.  He is currently living in space on the ISS (International space station). He wants to write a song about space so he has gone to space to get some ideas.  He also went because he wanted to see if it was easy to record music there.  Lance must also communicate back to earth and conduct experiments in his module.

Living
Lance Bass has a comfortable living quarters.  His bed is like a sleeping bag but it is on the wall.  It is on the wall because there is no gravity in space and it saves room. He has Velcro shoes and Velcro carpet so it holds him down.  Lance has a fridge which is bolted to the wall with Velcro strips inside.  Inside the fridge is canned food with Velcro the bottom of them so it sticks to the fridge. To cook his food he uses a microwave with again Velcro.  To eat his food Lance uses a spoon and just spoons it into his mouth.  If some fly’s away he quickly grabs it. Once Lance has gone to the toilet he closes the toilet lid and turns the suction pump on.  The pump sucks up all the human waste and holds it in a holding tank on the wall.  On the other wall is a two metre wide Velcro pad where he stores his water and cloths.  His water is held in sachets with nozzles.  To brush his teeth Lance must use a few drops of water which he has to catch on his tooth brush.  To wash his clothes Lance has a washing machine that uses little water. There is no gravity in space so as a result of that the clothes tumble by themselves.


Exercise
To exercise Lance has a machine that pulls him down while he is doing squats.  His shoes are Velcro to hold him in place.
Music
Lance has a small sound proof room at the front of his module. To record music Lance sings it into a microphone records it, puts it on his laptop and edits it (if he needs to).the he can send it to earth through his high powered satellite.
Communication
To communicate Lance has a high powered satellite.  On the wall is a screen which he can see the person he is talking to.  It is kind of like Skype but a lot more advanced.
Science
Lance has a science shelf on the side  of his module. He is experimenting on how far sound carries in space.
