This interview was recorded live from the ESA’s astronaut center in Cologne, Germany. The International Space Station is a microgravity laboratory in which an international crew of six people live and work in space while traveling at a speed of 5 miles per second, orbiting Earth every 90 minutes.
Want to see the space station in plain view? You don’t even need a telescope! Right now, it’s the third-brightest object in the sky. Type in your city and state here, and you can receive a text message alerting you when the station is approaching. Houston? That’s pretty cool.
