I love working on the International Space Station alongside the other astronauts, because my crewmates are fantastic people! They are very competent, always helpful and they have a great sense of humour.
Everything we do up here on the International Space Station is teamwork. A fellow crewmate might help me on a task if it is taking longer than planned, or they might notice a mistake I am making, or they might just cheer me up if I am sad about something.
Up here in space, we live and work together for 24 hours a day, so it’s important to always look out for opportunities to help your crewmates, and always try to be aware of how your crewmates are doing.
It’s also important to ask for feedback from your teammates, so they can tell you the things that they appreciate about you, and a few things that you can improve.
