An astronaut(宇航员)is walking about the moon．On his back, he wears a backpack．The backpack gives him oxygen he needs when breathing．It also gives him the temperature his body needs．And the radio in it helps him talk to other people．
Under his spacesuit he wears long underwear．It is covered with small tubes．Cool water runs through the tubes．In the day, when the temperature is over 200, the astronaut feels good in the cool underwear．
