Why did they make the international space station?

Answer 1

They made the international space station, because astronauts in earth orbit, can do experiments and learn stuff, they could not do on the planet. They can study outer space more easily, when there are no clouds blocking the view. They can look down at the earth and study pollution and weather much better from outer space. A space station has more room than the 3rd stage of a Saturn V moon rocket that was used for the Skylab space station in 1973. Having people in orbit offers many opportunities that being earth bound does not.

Answer 2

The International Space Station (ISS) was made to serve as a unique laboratory for conducting scientific research in microgravity, advancing our understanding of the effects of space on the human body, and fostering international collaboration in space exploration and research efforts. It also serves as a platform for testing new technologies and conducting experiments that benefit both space exploration and life on Earth.
