International Space Station The International Space Station‚ a worldwide project‚ is the next goal in a quickly growing space frontier. The station will be the first and next step towards researching the vast unknown world of outer space. What will be learned by this station? NASA has only the highest hopes that with the newest advancements in technology up in space‚ the fundamental physical‚ chemical‚ and biological processes can be examined with the absence of gravity‚ because of the space station

far beyond earth like Mars. We even have space station for human to live on it for temporary of time‚ but that is not enough there are still a lot more to found out and discover. Here is why space exploration is good. Curiosity is what drive us human to learn more‚ to do more‚ to discover more. As our Technology get better each year‚ we are able discover more unknowns and challenge the boundaries of what limit us from going further. As we continue space exploration‚ we will ultimately answer these
