Today I read on engadget about how the ISS (international space station) is marking its tenth anniversary of continuous habitation. This means that there has been someone living in the ISS at all times for the last ten years. I think this is fairly incredible due to the amount of resources which it takes to keep someone alive. It is about 10000 dollars a pound to send matter to the ISS so just getting food up to the ISS is expensive enough. Getting oxygen and keeping sanitary conditions on board are also of concern, so to have been running for 10 years strait, is quite an achievement. I thought this was interesting because it proves that space hotels and residences are not just possible, but quite creatable for those rich enough to afford this. I have recently heard many people talking about a want to go into space or experience 0 gravity, and I thought that it would be neat to see this commercially happen for extended periods of time.
