A typical day for the crew begins with a wake-up at 06:00, followed by post-sleep activities and a morning inspection of the station. The crew then eats breakfast and takes part in a daily planning conference with Mission Control before starting work at around 08:10. The first scheduled exercise of the day follows, after which the crew continues work until 13:05. Following a one-hour lunch break, the afternoon consists of more exercise and work before the crew carries out its pre-sleep activities beginning at 19:30, including dinner and a crew conference. The scheduled sleep period begins at 21:30. In general, the crew works ten hours per day on a weekday, and five hours on Saturdays, with the rest of the time their own for relaxation or work catch-up.
Hello. We are from Neptune, the eighth planet from the sun in the solar system. Our planet is named after the Roman Sea god. The weather is very unfriendly, with a temperature of around -300 degrees celsius and very strong winds. Actually, we have a lot of storms here. Everything is frozen on the surface of Neptune, so of course we do not have water. In order to survive here, we had to build all our cities underground, 100km from the ground. Fortunately we have no Neptune earthquake!
Our life is very different from your life on earth. Because it is very dark under the ground, we have very good lighting systems. Every day we need 3 hours to sleep, 4 hours to work and the rest of the day we spend on relaxing activities. Life is relaxed. Most of us like to travel to new cities for a new experience. Although we are smaller than you, we can move very fast. Indeed we have wings, so we can fly. We are not overcrowded like your earth. We do not breathe oxygen, but we live on hydrogen.
