Apart from high intelligence, good qualifications and an excellent level of fitness, astronauts must have a strong character. They also have to be very courageous in order to accept the high risks involved.
Astronauts also have to face other, more ordinary problems in space. What can be very annoying is the limited variety of food, but the greatest challenge is getting along with other members of their team as they often come from different countries, with different backgrounds and habits. Therefore they must be very patient with each other, since the lack of privacy can become irritating.
All in all, it seems that being an astronaut is one of the most challenging jobs in the world.

Have you got a mobile phone?
Before mobile phones were developed, you could only call someone with a phone which was connected to a phone line. That problem meant that it was often difficult to contact people, particularly if you were on a bus or in a car.
Before mobile phones, people didn’t send text messages to each other. Since they were introduced, text messages have changed the way we communicate. With text messages, you don’t need to actually call someone. You simply type a short message and send it, being careful, of course, to send it to another mobile and not to a home phone.
Mobile phones used to be big and heavy. Now, they’re small and light. The chances are that they will become even smaller and lighter in the future.
