For generations, we have dreamed about a place to live and work in space…a space station. And right now, 260 miles above us, moving 5 miles a second…that dream is a reality. We dreamed that life up there would benefit life down here. That dream has come true.
Can the research on board the space station lead to cleaner drinking water on Earth? Can it help farmers produce better crops? Can it inspire a generation of students? Can it even save a life?
It already has. As the work aboard the International Space Station begins to reach its potential, the benefits to humanity are becoming evident. These are just a few of the stories from people who have benefitted….told in their own words.
