Sometimes you may feel lonely or homesick. Being in space is as far away from your family and friends as it is possible to be. But there will be ways to talk to your families and friends and even to your pet if you want! We will have good communication equipment with e-mail, video, voice and maybe even holographic images like the one of Princess Leia in the first Star Wars movie. Being able to keep in touch with home is very important to keep us from feeling isolated, homesick and lonely. A good team is also critical.
