    Q: How do you sleep in space?
    Chris: I sleep well, thank you! It’s a bit different because without gravity, it’s not necessary to have a bed, so I only have a sleeping bag attached to the wall, and I don’t need a pillow because your head doesn’t fall down, I float. And therefore, for sleeping, I just use the sleeping bag, float next to the wall, attach a bit to the wall with Velcro, and relax and sleep, it’s very comfortable, I think it’s much more comfortable than on Earth with gravity

    For anyone wondering, Chris is answering these questions from inside the Japanese module. Behind him is an airlock that can only be used by cargo or experiments (not people). There is also an arm that can grab equipment or experiments from the airlock to place them on the ISS's "Back Porch" where they store experiments meant to test things out in vacuum.

    The first question in French is about sleeping in space. Chris answers that he sleeps in a sleeping bag tied up to the wall, and he just floats while sleeping. But it's not as much comfy as on Earth. The second French question is about what food astronauts eat in space. Chris answers that they mostly eat dry food, like dried fruits. He opens a bag of dried peaches and says that "it's not too bad". He later adds: "It's enough to stay healthy and for me it's perfect".

    Its like their is no room for superstition. It's just a benevolent body and has never heard the human interpretations of its existence reach through the earths atmosphere. It is only a lonely body in space that burns brightly, and from space it is so pristine and beautiful.
    To have the chance to see the Sun through the void of empty space would be a privilege to me like having the chance to see the great pyramids in person, but like 1000 times more majestic!

    A: We have lots of types of food but not fresh. It's not like by you. We lack a refrigerator. No freezer here- for food. This is dry fruit. I can open it. It's peach. It's space food. It's not bad. This is walleye. From Russia. Like salmon. Similar to what's on Earth, with vegetables. So it's not delicious but it's pretty good. It's not Mom who makes the food. It's not like a restaurant. But it's good enough for astronaut's health and for me it's perfect.
