The International Space Station is visible to the naked eye up to 16 times per day.

The International Space Station hovers at 250 miles above the earth and sometimes if you look close enough and are paying attention you can get a glimpse of the International Space Station.

You can also see the ISS or International Space Station even better with a telescope.

As of 2020 there are only 2 space stations in space.

The space station is where the astronauts live and work while in space.

The two space stations that are currently in space as of 2020 are the International Space Station and the Tiangong space station.

Astronauts do live in the International Space Station while working on space but eventually those astronauts do return to earth after completing their work and mission in space.

The International Space Station allows the Astronauts and people in them to survive while in space and have a place to poop and pee etc.

The International Space Station crew lives and works on the International Space Station while it's traveling at a speed of around 5 miles per second which is pretty fast.

Amazingly the living and working space in the International Space Station is even larger than a six bedroom house and has six sleeping quarters, two bathrooms, a gym, and a 360-degree view bay window.

So the astronauts in the ISS are pretty comfortable while up there in space.
