10. Are we able to bring our own palm pilots and laptop computers and work or go to school while we're in space? Will there already be computers in space for us to use? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Yes, we can bring all these things, but we will have to modify them to use whatever voltage there is on the rocket we are on. We can go to school by using books that are loaded onto our computers, and we can talk to teachers on Earth via a radio link, and even hook up a small TV camera to see each other. If we work in space or on the Moon, then that is where we would be going to work. But to travel back and forth to Earth to go to work would be very difficult because it takes too long to travel. When we go to space, we will bring a special computer with us.
