In a statement on Wednesday, Namira Saleem said, "Today we learnt about fitting our spacesuits and parachutes to perfection. We also trained about the functionality of our custom-made seats in the spaceship and how to fasten and unfasten our seat belts so we leave our seats in zero gravity well-oriented and take the necessary steps to maximize our experience in space. We also learned to make gentle movements not to bump into windows or fellow astronauts and how to naturally drift when floating in zero gravity."
