A day late, but Happy Anniversary to the International Space Station!

Quote
Yesterday (Nov. 2) marked 15 years since humans took up permanent residence in the International Space Station, and the six crewmembers on board took some time to talk about what the station means for the futureof human spaceflight, and how it's holding up after more than one and a half decades in space.

Construction began on the $100 billion International Space Station in 1998, with the launch of the Russian Zarya module. Humans have maintained a continuous presence on the orbiting laboratory since 2000. The station was built by five different space agencies representing 15 different countries.
