Aug 2, Long Passage Summary
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gNW ... sp=sharingNASA was an having an arbitrary motion in space which was unexpected so they turned to Roscosmos, Russia’s -space agency.
NASA lost their communication(It was the ground control who lost their communication with the crew, I think the crew implies to the astronaut's team because that is what the author discusses in the previous line) but later on they found that it was another russian module.
However, there was software glitch, the 7 astronauts from NASA were felt that they were absolutely fine. As it is said that astronauts are always in danger,
they don't want to reveal any kind of information regarding ISS. So
NASA manager(The author presents the situation or the glich the manager had experienced before which was also related to the russian tech and prove his point that the astronauts are always in danger) giving an example of Roscosmos, when crew scoured the station they found a tiny hole in a Soyuz capsule in russian astronaut vehicle. In past years, astronaut was only the person to travel to space, now even billionaire person can visit the space. ISS has great technology and soon
we can visit and explore the space(I did not find this in the article).
Hi There!
A good one! This is how I would try to summarize, this might help
and let me know if I am wrong
P1: This para gives us a background about what happened and how did NASA try to find the issue by reaching out to Roscosmos.
P2: Gives us further details about the issue, and the cause. And gives an expert view on the danger experienced/not experienced by the astronaut
P3: Further delineates the danger astronauts are in, by giving an expert opinion and providing examples of past incidents.
P4 The author then discusses the autonomy of the space flights by giving examples that billionaires have already started flying and they made it look easy but it remains dangerous for professional astronauts and tourists
P5: Discusses about ISS, and how it is like a home, but this notion does not lasts long and a sudden fire can jolt the astronauts back in reality and lasts with them even after the go to space.
How does the above help?If you focus on nouns, you are trying to remember the whole passage even the details, try to limit the use of nouns in the summary. Focus only on those which act important like NASA in some sentence and Roscosmos in other. Writing a paragraph summary also help you to quickly answer question based on a particular paragraph like what role does xyz paragraph play, so instead of looking at the whole para a summary gives you a concise picture and also to the main idea of the whole passage along with each paragraph's relation with the other.
Hope this helps!
