Answer: 1. Audience: the general public.
Why: The language and topics are nontechnical and use everyday comparisons that make space life relatable rather than detailed scientific explanations. The interview focuses on personal experiences, training and human-interest angles that appeal broadly, doesn’t assume specialist knowledge (so it’s not written for scientists or fellow astronauts), and while some comparisons will resonate with children, the tone and content aim at a general adult audience.
