Living in space
Description
This video gives students a dramatic view of what it's like to live and work in space with action footage of the International Space Station, the Buran-Energia Shuttle, the Mir Space Station, and Skylab. The pros and cons of living in an environment lacking Earth's gravity, protective atmosphere, and moderate temperatures (relatively speaking) are considered, and the future of space exploration, as outlined in George W. Bush's "A Renewed Spirit of Discovery" address, is mapped out.
