✓
Answer
Astronauts travelling to space in a space- ship have to face the following difficulties:
$(1)$ Astronauts experience the state of weight- lessness. Thus, an astronaut float about here and there in space just like a gas-filled balloon.
$(2)$ Food kept on the table as well as plates float about in space. So astronauts have to chase the food somehow and catch it to eat it.
$(3)$ They face lots of difficulties in drinking water and eating food. Water filled in a glass floats about as blobs once the glass is removed from under it.
$(4)$ To sit on a chair or any such place, one has to tie oneself to the chair or seat. Thus, astronauts have to do even simple things differently when they are in space.
