Let's say you were sent to live on an outer space station for three months and you were allowed to bring only three personal items with you-what would you bring? I would cheat and buy myself an new laptop-one with wi-fi, because I'm pretty sure there's wireless internet in outer space-no joke, seriously! After all, the do have satellites up there, why can't one of them be for internet service? =] Next, I would bring a digital camera to cover all the crazy stuff I'll be trying out in no gravity! And to take countless pictures of the stars out there, and anything else that might happen to come in my way....... The last thing I would bring would be a sweater- sounds stupid? That's okay. While your freezing in outer space, I'll be warm and cozy, jumping around for joy, staring at the stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well maybe my dogs. and maybe my handhelds. i think it will be boring after the first month because if your just a guest youll not do anything but just float around.

Well if your not including mandatory items i would bring the following: My family :). You never said I couldn't bring the entire mafia outer space! My car. You couldn't really fly it though. It would come apart and explode the second it is out of the space shuttle. Lastly, I would bring tons of toothpaste. Squirting it in space is so cool! I couldn't really think of something better. By the way, there are a few problems with your items. Once you go out to space with your digital camera, it'll exploded... Space is a vacuum, and it'll disintegrate. Secondly, a sweater is pretty stupid. It won't be of any use. Space is heat less, and stays at an absolute temperature. Your spacesuit is very hot, and it has to be cooled with inner cooling vents, which is cold liquid running though the space suit. The sweater would not increase heat, and would just be an accessory, considering the spacesuit resisting all heat. I am a little skeptical on the wifi thing though. I think it can really work. Good long with your extra terrestrial space adventure, Funorb12!
