5 Read the article about journeys into space. Are the sentences true (T) or false (F)? There is an example at the
beginning (0).
In the 1950s, when the popular science-fiction programme Journey into Space was on the radio, the idea of space travel was
just a fantastic story. Nowadays, it is still one of our most exciting dreams. We love films and TV series like Star Trek and
Star Wars, but it is also a real possibility. We know a lot more about space now – and some people can go there! Yuri
Gagarin was the first person in space. He went on 12th April 1961 and he flew around the world for 108 minutes. The
Americans wanted to be first, but the Russians were quicker. Alan Shepherd was the second man in space in May 1961, a
month after Gagarin, but his flight was shorter – it was fifteen minutes long. Shepherd also went to the moon. He was the
fifth person there, and the oldest. He also played golf there, so he was the most famous golfer on the moon!

Nowadays, the Russians and the Americans work together with fourteen other nationalities on the International Space
Station. The ISS first went into space in 2000 with two Russians, Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev, and an American,
Bill Shepherd. Their journey was 141 days long. There are still people on the ISS now.

Russian Valeri Polyakov spent the longest time in one visit to space. He spent 437 days and eighteen hours there
between 1994 and 1995. The American with the longest time in space is Peggy Whitson. She broke the record in
2017 after 665 days in space (in more than one visit). Her last journey ended on 3rd September 2017 after 288 days.
In that time, she travelled 196.66 million kilometres. That’s a very long journey.
0 In the fifties, Journey into Space wasn’t about a real journey. T
1 The article says the idea of journeys into space are a little boring now. F
2 The article doesn’t say what country Gagarin was from. F
3 Gagarin spent more time in space than Shepherd. F
4 Shepherd was older than all other people who walked on the moon. T
5 Shepherd was also one of the most famous golfers in the world. F
6 More than fifteen countries work together on the ISS project. T
7 One of the first people on the ISS had the same first name or surname as the first two men in space. T
8 Polyakov spent 437 days on more than one space journey. T
9 Whitson spent 665 days on more than one space journey. T
10 Whitson travelled over 196 million kilometres in one journey. T / 10
