International Space Station

The first component of the International Space Station was launnched in 1998. The station is suited for the testing of space craft systems and equipment. The entire Space Station costed about 150 biollion in US dollar. There is six people currently on the space station. The one year mission is currently going on it will focus on finding information on the medical, phychological and biomedical challenges faced by astronauts durring a long space flight. I find it intresting how you get taller while you are in space because there is no gravity putting pressure on your spine so your spine stretches. I dont think I would like living in space because the constant floating around would get boring and i would like to be grounded again.
