¡Vamos a despegar! Qué fascinante es ver y explorar mundos nuevos. El cambiar nuestro ambiente en la Tierra por el ambiente del espacio es muy emocionante. Pero, un ambiente “normal para la Tierra” es muy distinto a un ambiente “normal para el espacio”. El espacio tiene uno de los ambientes más peligrosos que hemos explorado. A medida que cambie el ambiente, también cambiará el cuerpo del astronauta.
