The space station is orbiting the earth. That means it is constantly falling, but falling AROUND the Earth. Satellites do the same thing.
The force of gravity keeps the space station in orbit as well as inertia that keeps the space station moving in a straight line.
The centripetal force that keeps the International Space Station in orbit around the Earth is due to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the space station. This gravitational force causes the space station to constantly fall towards Earth, but its tangential velocity keeps it moving sideways, resulting in a stable orbit.
Other than humans, the space station has no animals on it.

The space station is not too far out of the Earths atmosphere so they just send up a space shuttle!
The International Space Station normally has a crew of three or four, and while they rotate, most astronauts do not get to live on the space station. As of Feb. 2010 the number is now up to 6.
The Russian space station MIR fell to earth and burned up years ago.
an astronaut is someone that goes up in to space
The International Space Station orbits Earth at an average altitude of about 250 miles (400 kilometers) above the planet's surface.
Astronauts can perform their space walk and move around as if nothing is happening while the space station is traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, because there is no gravity. This keeps them from feeling the fast speed.
there was 2 .. launching to get to the international space station up in space
