This machine helps astronauts to stay healthy. There is a cupboard with food and water, and a pipe that if you press a button, it will sense where the plate is and shoot out the food you want. Same with water and drinks, when it runs out, you press a button that sends a message to Earth and say that we are running out of food and water. Earth will then send two mini rockets to wherever the big spaceship is. There is also a white chocolate and lemon bar that keeps your insides warm. Connected to the cupboard, there is a small wardrobe that has a spacesuit with a button that says: "Heat if you are a bit cold". If you press 1, the spacesuit will heat up a bit but if you are too cold, you press 5 and it will heat up more. There is also a robot cat that can help you in space and all of this is in a big spaceship that can travel at the speed of light.

You've thought of everything an astronaut might need to stay comfortable, healthy, and safe in space, Miah. The idea of having food and water delivered through a button that senses the plate’s location is so clever, it shows how well you understand the importance of convenience and precision in space! I think it's amazing that the mini rockets that restock supplies from Earth, as well as the warmth-providing white chocolate and lemon bar, which is such a creative way to keep astronauts warm. Well done!
