What You Should Bring to Space || The Ultimate Packing List

WHAT YOU SHOULD BRING TO SPACE THE ULTIMATE PACKING LIST

HELLO,

we've got good news a group of Select

humans is being interviewed to hop on

board the first commercial vacation to

outer space the space agency has given

you a survey to answer they want to know

what you would pack on this space

adventure depending on your answers you

just might be one of the chosen ones

now how about we take a look at that

list together

pencils

I guess I never would have thought of

that but it makes sense

Legend has it that the U.S spent

millions of dollars trying to design a

pen that worked in space

you know since the lack of gravity is a

huge I mean inescapable factor of life

in outer space pens don't work the ink

won't flow down as it does here on Earth

it turns out that pencils will do the

trick this way you can play word puzzles

with the other space tourists or even

make some drawings of your adventure

you'd never forget to pack a toothbrush

of course according to veteran

astronauts toothbrushes are so simple

yet their technology is enough for space

if you were to squeeze a water bottle

inside a spacecraft the molecules of

water would float around in small

bubbles but if you wet your toothbrush

it naturally holds the water in it

keeping it moist to receive your

toothpaste oh I was going to say funny

socks glad that you beat me to it here

are two things first there's not a lot

of walking that goes on in space people

don't tend to touch the ground too much

up there and second space isn't the best

place to Showcase your fashion style

yeah astronauts tend to use special

clothes while they're out there and it

will be no different for you as a space

vacationer so socks will keep your feet

warm and fuzzy but they'll also speak

for your fashion interest maybe one day

you'll wear a smiley face sock well the

other day you'll go for a grinch themed

one

of course socks are pretty helpful on

board an aircraft they'll make you slide

through stuff more easily

next time I go to the convenience store

I'll remember to buy some wet wipes for

your space travel experienced space

Travelers do love them and it wasn't

even NASA that invented them huh since

water is a no-go inside a spaceship the

best option is wet wipes better yet if

they're scented astronauts even use

different kinds of wipes they buy the

disinfecting ones and the ones to use on

their bodies just make sure you know how

to tell the difference between them when

you're up there there's a popular myth

that says that NASA invented Velcro but

the truth is we tend to think that

everything that's used in space was

invented by NASA for a very intelligent

and specific purpose it wasn't though

velcro was invented for mundane reasons

back in the 1950s by a Swiss company

they were adopted by space Travelers

because they work as anti-gravity props

they don't erase gravity of course but

you can glue velcros into daily stuff

and then hang them on the velcro

attached to the spaceship's walls it's a

very smart system but best to take your

own pair right if you're spending a long

time in outer space photographs from

back home might come in handy choose

them well though since the spacecraft

isn't all that big the rest of the

people on board will know which pictures

you decided to bring along best to keep

that Harry Styles poster back in your

Earthly bedroom right just bring real

pictures of people that you know and

love did I hear Pizza

a huge part of traveling and exploring

new places is being able to taste

different flavors of food in outer space

that's a bit more complicated but hey at

least you can take some pizza with you

well actually you'd have to have it

delivered to you in a cargo ship this

way ingredients would come fresh and

ready to eat it wouldn't be the first

time that people in space tried eating

Earthling junk food some astronauts have

even eaten Crepes and hot dogs perhaps

the best part of this pizza party would

be that your food could float Now isn't

this a super nice way to enjoy some

Earth Delicacies as much as I understand

your desire to pack a toilet with you on

this space trip that's virtually

impossible I mean I understand you some

people are attached to the toilets in

their homes and a space toilet is far

from the ideal experience but NASA has

been improving their toilet system and

it's the best it's been over the years

so that will have to do here's something

I would take as well a laptop

but what good would it do in outer space

you might ask

apparently there is internet all over

the International Space Station so even

if you're not spending most of your trip

docked at the ISS you could enjoy some

Netflix on the days you spend over there

there is internet all over the ISS

apparently crazy huh and speaking of

leisure I love that you would take a

yo-yo I'm not sure how efficient it

would be in space since there's no

gravity to bounce it back and forth but

it would be nice to see how a yo-yo

reacts in a gravity-free environment

oh I love jigsaw puzzles this would

definitely be on my list as well imagine

trying to build a jigsaw puzzle that

keeps floating in the air maybe you'll

have to create a system to avoid the

separate pieces floating aimlessly

through the spacecraft but imagine once

you finish that Turtle puzzle it will

look like it's swimming around the craft

you can't pack a window but they sure

are an important part of life in outer

space let's keep in mind some of the

rules of the trip each traveler will

have the opportunity to do one spacewalk

during their time in space

is already huge consider yourself lucky

some Elite astronauts only get to do one

spacewalk during their entire career

that is so because spacewalks are risky

and require a lot of training but you'll

get your training once you're up there

the thing is all other days you'll be

stuck inside a floating tin can so

windows will come a long way

they'll help to remind you where you are

they'll give you some perspective of

space and Earth of course you should

take your camera how else will you be

able to register for this once in a

lifetime experience just make sure it

works inside an aircraft or the ISS and

you're good to go

hmm coffee don't worry you don't need to

pack your own up until recently

astronauts had to rely solely on

instantly brewed cups of coffee when

they were in space but you're lucky that

coffee experts have already solved this

issue nowadays there's the is espresso

machine

the machine itself is similar in size to

an Earthling espresso machine but to

drink it space Travelers have to use a

zero gravity coffee cup together with a

straw if you try drinking it regularly

you wouldn't get hot coffee to hit you

directly in your face instead the coffee

would be glued to the bottom of your cup

I have to say I really stand this

invention last but not least why not

pack your guitar with you

I noticed you were missing a musical

instrument if this was a conventional

flight you might have to pay extra for

luggage

but since it's all included don't be shy

and take your guitar astronauts such as

Chris Hadfield take their musical

instruments with them when they're in

space he even became famous for his

version of Bowie's Space Oddity up to

the point that Bowie himself told him he

lived Chris's version of it it helps to

pass the time but it's also great for

socializing can you imagine a pretend

bonfire happening in the void of space I

can

it looks super cool well I think you're

set to go I'll personally call NASA and

ask them to pick you as one of the lucky

space Travelers see you in outer space

amigo.
