Under
the
Surface


Water
is
used
for
many
things
.

You
drink
it
.

You
use
it
to
wash
things
.

You
swim
in
it
.

But
,
did
you
know
water
is
used
to
train
astronauts
?


There
is
very
little
gravity
in
space
.

That
means
that
astronauts
float
around
in
their
spacecraft
.

This
makes
them
feel
weightless
.

Training
in
water
helps
them
get
ready
for
what
it
feels
like
to
be
in
space
.


Astronauts
are
not
the
only
people
who
train
in
water
.

Athletes
train
in
water
,
too
.

Water
can
also
be
used
to
help
people
get
better
after
they
have
been
injured
.

And
water
can
help
people
with
chronic
conditions
,
such
as
arthritis
.
