City in Space

Have you ever think of something beyond expectation..as in "thinking outside the world"? Haha!! Interested in exploring more of the ever mystical Milky Way? What about a visit to the Space Station? I was very impressed of this multi high-tech pit stop + work place for professionals like scientist and astronaouts...

Well, the Space Station is a collaboration of sixteen international partners working together to create a world-class, state-of-the-art orbiting research facility. The Station will afford scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs an unprecedented platform on which to perform complex, long-duration and replicable experiments in the unique environment of space. But, the Space Station is much more than a world-class laboratory; it is an international human experiment,an exciting "city in space" which a place where we will learn how to live and work "off planet."

The mission of the International Space Station is to enable long-term exploration of space and provide benefits to people on Earth. With six state-of-the-art laboratories, the Space Station will be the premiere research facility in space, four times larger and more capable than any previous space station. It is hoped that it will allow for advancements in medicine, technology and science. The Space Station will also serve as the gateway to new frontiers in human space exploration, a place where we can learn how to live and work "off planet.". In addition, it will allow for critical research in fluids, combustion, life support systems and the radiation environment, which is needed for future human space exploration.
