3月14日早晨，宇航员们完成了计划中的5次太空行走的第一次，他们开始为国际空间站组装加拿大制造的机器人Dextre，地面控制人员则在忙着为机器人的控制软件打上补丁修复缺陷，到目前为止Dextre还无法通上电。太空中的生活既引人入胜又很平常，很多年来，
宇航员都被迫作出许多妥协，很多事情是你呆在旅馆里永远也想象不到的。这里列出的就是你所不知道的太空生活：
iPod：最近几年宇航员被允许带iPod到太空，但必须事先经过修改，锂电池必须被AA电池取代。此外iPod只能呆在航天飞机上，不能进入空间站，因为它没有经过认证。
餐具：每次任务宇航员们都能携带一套餐具，他们不可能去洗盘子碟子，因此每次用完餐他们只需要用消毒剂把刀叉擦干净。
比萨饼：不能冻干或脱水，因此太空没有比萨饼可吃。
锁：担心在太空中有人会伤害你，想找把锁？没门。
洗衣服：很简单，宇航员不洗衣服。即便是执行长期任务，他们也是穿着同一套衣服。NASA还会循环利用这些特别的衣服，包括内裤。
垃圾：宇航员不能向外扔垃圾，他们有个专门的桶和包清理垃圾。
钱：在太空中它没有任何价值。

Early this morning astronauts completed the first of five planned spacewalks at the International Space Station.
NASA works to fix power problem aboard the International Space Station.They began assembling the Canadian-made robot arm and prepared to move the first piece of a Japanese-made space lab.
Ground controllers sent up a software patch for the robot hoping to fix a glitch that is so far preventing power from reaching the robot known as Dextre.
As the mission ended, astronauts were treated to a spectacular view of the Midwestern United States.
"Oh wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. It's a pretty amazing view, " Endeavour astronaut Rick Linnehan said.
It's all part of life in space, full of spectacular moments as well as the mundane.
Over the years, living in space has forced astronauts to make a few concessions to things you would not give a second thought about when staying at a Holiday Inn.
Here are a fews things you may not have known about living in space.
IPods: For the last few years astronauts have been allowed to fly with iPods, a great space saver over CD players. The iPods had to be modified to fly in space; the lithium batteries were taken out and replaced with alkaline double As that are certified to fly on the shuttle.
