B: Do you want to work in space in the future
A: I'm not sure, but I think it might be too difficult for me. There are so
many requirements. First of all, you must be intelligent enough to get a
related college degree. Then you have to be a pilot with years of training and
practise flying. Finally, you must be really physically and mentally fit.
B: So what might be the most difficult part for you
A: I guess it might be the space travel itself. I'm sure being weightless(失重

space. But the spacesuit and capsule(太空舱) look terribly small and
uncomfortable. It would be hard to stay in such a small space for so long.
Also, there's no privacy(隐私) at all. What if I have to go to the restroom
B:I see what you mean.
