10、e?LY:No.In a spaceship you would feel the pull as it got closer to such an object.You would travel faster and faster towards it.MJ:Until you hit it?LY:Not exactly.You may pass it very fast and then it would throw you out into space again.After that you would slow down to the usual speed.MJ:How do yo
11、u know this?LY:In 1905 Einstein said that in space large objects make space-time bend;the larger the object,the further space-time bends.So time goes slower in very strong gravity.MJ:What a bout black holes?LY:Thats a place in space which has such a strong mass that nothing can escape from its gravi

25、 is that when you did your space walk?L:Yes.W:How did you prepare for it?L:First we had to get into spacesuits.Theyre very thick and carry all the oxygen we need to breathe.The suit also has hot and cold water so it can warm us if its too cold or cool us if its too hot.So its very heavy.W:Is it dang
26、erous to leave the spaceship?L:Yes,indeed.When we leave,we go into a small room.We have to wear gravity boots to walk there.We close the door behind us and then we can open the door to space.Then our gravity boots stop working and we can fly out of the door.W:How do you get about in space?L:We use s
27、mall engines to move around.To go left we push the left engine and to go right we push the right one.We have to go very slowly because we dont weigh anything in space.We can fly around like feathers.W:What does it feel like in space?L:Very strange.There is no gravity so doing any job is very tiring.
28、W:What happens if you fly too far from the spaceship?L:Youd never get back so we tie ourselves to the spaceship with a special rope.W:How did you repair the Hubble telescope?L:We used some special tools tied round our waists.That way we didnt lose them.We did a good job.The telescope works fine now.
