Hi, I'm Alexandra, and I'm an astronaut. I am working on a space station that has instruments to measure the air pollution on Earth. We can also see where the ozone layer is thin and what the effects of global warming are.

How clean is the air where you live?

Hi, I'm Alexandra, and I'm an astronaut. I am working at a space station that is orbiting around our beautiful planet, the Earth.I often marvel at the Earth, I think a lot about its future. Have you ever seen pictures of our "blue planet?" You know, it's called blue because three quarters of its surface is covered with water. Even the white ice caps on its poles are water. And it has some water under its surface. But from all this water the creatures on Earth can only drink 1 percent! And all creatures need water!

How long do you think we'll have clean water to drink?

We'll never use up all the energy sources. People are working on coming up with new ways to make energy. For example, if there is not enough oil, cars can run on electric power. [Jason-USA]
