The International Space Station

In today's episode, Zack has 30 minutes to become an "expert" on... The International Space Station! After a hard week of being in the hot seat, Katie threw out a personal topic selection and boy did it pay off. The ISS is fascinating! From its football field size to the fact that it runs on solar power, it was full of adorable surprises. One of the few places on Earth (not literally) where people from different nations come together in pursuit of science. Except Russia, of course, who has their "own side." We delve into some physics, which does not go well, but other than that this episode is full of fun facts and incredible details about a really important part of modern history that may well be zooming over your head at this very moment. 

 

Highlights include: 

- How many times does the ISS circle Earth in a day?

- How far above Earth is the ISS?

- Where does the clean water come from?
