The outer space does not have the same conditions we have on earth. There are several consequences coming from the fact that the gravity force is not present with the same strength as it is over the earth surface. For example things are not attached to something as they are to the earth. We can try to imagine how it would be to be living in a house located in the outer space. As we speak there is a kind of a house just above the earth atmosphere which is named International Space Station. We can think of it as a big house.

Now we can imagine how it would be our life in a certain day over there. First of all we need to learn that sun rise every 90 minutes making our days very short. Unless we were born under those conditions our body is very used to days that last 24 hours and it requires to rest during 8 hours in average. We need to set up some sleeping schedule in order to comply with this requirement while living in our space house.

Now we can go to the bed. This is going to be a funny situation since our bed is not attached to any surface due to the lack of gravity force. We are in the space and there is not an invisible force that makes our bed to remain stuck to any place. We need to stick to some surface some how. There is not also a floor or a ceiling properly said, we can define any surface as our floor and the opposite as the ceiling. Then we can attach the bed to the floor.

Now it is time for us to lay on the quiet bed. At this moment you can imagine that you would also be loosely flying around your house. We need then to fix ourselves also to the bed in order to remain over it during our sleeping time. At the beginning this experience can be exciting but after a few days it can happen that you do not rest well enough. So, the best thing to do is to include some holding system to the bed like attached blankets.

If we continue with our day to day activities in our space house we may find some plumbing fixture to fix. Before we go further describing how simple activities like having a shower or brushing our teeth are carried out, we can try to figure out how a simple task like fixing a plumbing fixture can be executed. Remember that we do not have the gravity force to help us to maintain tools where we put them. The water does not go down as in any pipeline over the earth. Actually, other than drinking, you will not use much water in your space house.

There was upon a time when people just dreamed about how life in the outer space would be. Now we can see actually how it happens through the experience shared by our astronauts. We can see and hear how daily life goes into a site placed just out of our earth atmosphere. This is really amazing. A lot of experiments have been carried out to test numerous conditions, in a free from gravity force environment, which are very common over the earth. The results are worthy to be seen.

Roger Banta developed a related to plumbing materials list to be shown. This page contains good guide for plumbing supplies that can help you.
