In November 2014, Viet Nam's first astronaut Pham Tuan and Christer
Fuglesang, Sweden's first astronaut, shared their space mission memories in
a meeting in Ho Chi Minh City.
Talking to Tuoi Tre newspaper, the two astronauts said they enjoyed floating
around in the weightless environment. 'From above, Earth didn't look as big
as we had thought,' Fuglesang, who first flew into space in 2006,
recalled. (1) c. 'No boundaries on Earth can be seen from space,' he
added. 'I think we should cooperate to take care of our planet like
astronauts help each other in space.'
Pham Tuan described his first meal on Earth after the trip as 'very delicious'.
He said it was a great feeling since astronauts do not have fresh food in
space. He recounted how his family had helped him, (2) a. 'We felt very
lonely travelling in space, so hearing the voices of our relatives brought
a lot of happiness to us.'
Both astronauts agreed that to realise a dream needs effort, but the chance
to fly to space is equal for everyone, whether they are from Viet Nam,
Sweden, or any other country. Fuglesang said teamwork and social skills are
very important for an astronaut as the job requires people to work
harmoniously together. (3) b. He also suggested people learn more
foreign languages to better collaborate with their teammates.
