Hello, and welcome to The Stargazer, a blog were I talk about the cosmos and more.
Today I would like to talk about something that is recent. The International Space Station (ISS) is a station that is in orbit constantly.
The ISS was first completed in 1998 and the world added to it until 2011. The ISS is a space station that is in orbit around Earth. Astronauts conduct experiments here that help us understand outer space and how to live there. We experiment with plant growth and physical sciences. We also use the ISS as and observatory from exploring outer space. Another thing we have found out is that we grow taller. Also our bodies adapt to a space environment quickly. This is why many astronauts have to take rehab sessions for a long time after spending a while in space.
The ISS moves at around 5 miles per second which is also 18,000 mph. This is why the ISS completes one full rotation of Earth every 90 minutes. The ISS has 6 sleeping quarters, 2 bathrooms, a gym and a 360 degree view window. There are also many rooms for experiments and other things.
Currently NASA is planning to add a hotel suite to the ISS. This could make many private companies and investors to come to the ISS. This began when Dennis Tito paid $20 million to visit the ISS. The Hotel Suite could help raise funds for the ISS and help us improve. NASA plans to launch this by 2024.
This is today's post for The Stargazer.
