Okay, all you budding young astronauts out there, listen up. The future has arrived. Tomorrow is here. The science fiction of yesterday is the science fact of today. If you want to know what I am talking about, then read on for today’s FamSite.
Called SpaceStation.com, this is a website that allows cybervisitors to keep up with the next phase of space exploration, the SpaceStation. Being planned and carried out as an international collaboration among many countries, it is now a reality. The first part is in orbit, and over the coming years, it will grow to become a community at spins around our earth every 100 minutes, plus or minus. At this site you can follow all the happenings of this satellite, both what has happened, and what is being planned. For example, you can follow up close and personal the upcoming flight of STS-96, which will visit the station in May 1999.
So check this site out, and bookmark it to return to it often. The happenings at the SpaceStation today will have as major an impact on the lives of our young ones, much as the flight of a Marine Corps Colonel did 35 years ago had on another generation of Americans. Enjoy your stop here today.
