International
Space Station (ISS)．ISS
crewmembers usually live in space for at least a

on
Earth as much as ds give the crew valuable time to
rest and do a few
hours of can communicate
with family and friends by email，Internet phone
and through private video conferences.
While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game
or a movie in orbit，there are many
familiar
activities that they can still a mission，the
family and friends
of each ISS crewmember put
together a collection of family photos,
messages，videos and
reading material for the
astronauts to look at when they will be floating
370 kilometers
above the their mission，the
crew also receives care packages with
CDs，
books，magazines，photos and as from early

ISS，giving astronauts the chance to do some “Web
surfing(冲浪)” in
their personal s relaxing with

B
The world's largest aircraft
made its public debut last week at
Europe's
biggest factory，a purpose built assembly line in
Toulouse，southern
Airbus A380 will have 50
percent more floor space than American rival
Boeing's 747 Jumbo，with room for dutyfree
shops，restaurants and even a
new arrival is
expected to change the face of air travel.
The A380 will enter service early
next year with Singapore Airlines.
Airbus
claims the A380 will burn less fuel，make less
noise，create less pollution
and cost 17
percent less per seat than the will also reduce
traffic problems in
the skies.
The
aircraft，which cost between ￡140 million (US
$$250m) and ￡157 million (US
$$280m ) each
compared with ￡84 million (US $$150m) for Boeing's
new Dreamliner jet，
is being built at 16
factories in Germany，France，Spain and the UK.
But activists have warned of more noise and
pollution from the Superjumbo，while
Boeing
believes huge aircraft will not be in great demand
over the next decade.
As a result，it is
putting faith in the much smaller 747 Airbus is
pinning its hopes on the “big is beautiful”
theory，gambling on size being the key
factor
in the USEuropean battle for the skies.
Airbus said it was in talks with half a dozen
global airlines about buying the
Eastern
Airlines，already an Airbus customer，is said to be
targeted，while
executives made it plain that
they wanted to fight for the Japanese market，which
had
traditionally been controlled by Boeing.
Over the next 20 years，Airbus hopes to sell
750 of the new planes into a market
worth ￡185
billion (US $$330bil)．The company already has 129
firm orders for the A380，
with 52 options.
