Space+Station+7

Reflection:

We call the space station international because many countries, including the United States and Russia have helped with it. Also, many of the astronauts are from different countries. There are several reasons why the International Space station is important. First, it helps us do research on the effects of long-term space living. This will help in case we decide to do longer missions. Astronauts have also studied human bone loss after an extended time in a no-gravity environment. This will help on missions too. Finally we have experimented with protection against various levels of radiation. This is why the International Space Station is important.
