The future of Space Travel
The future of space exploration has no limits other than the imagination and determination of man. An international space station, currently named ISS (International Space Station), is scheduled to be fully operational by the year 2002. Currently astronauts are living on the station and working to install equipment and energy systems.

one day be common place.
