  • The International Space Station: From Liftoff to Reentry
    Nov 19 2024

    November 20, 1998 marked the launch of the first module of the International Space Station. Over time, the ISS grew to be the size of a football field, circling the globe every 90 minutes at 17,500 miles per hour. Today we are joined by NASA Astronaut Dr. Stan Love. Stan was part of the team that got the ISS up into orbit and will play a crucial role in bringing it back down to Earth. We'll discuss the important work that's been done over the past 25 years and why it's now time for the mission to end. We'll also look ahead to the next steps in the Artemis program as NASA transitions out of low-Earth orbit and into Deep Space!
