South China Morning Post published this video item, entitled “Nasa’s International Space Station celebrates 20 years of continuous human habitation” – below is their description.
The International Space Station on November 2, 2020, marked 20 years of continuous human habitation on board the lab that has been in low Earth orbit since 1998. The first crew, which included US astronaut Bill Shepherd and cosmonauts Sergei Krikalev and Yuri Gidzenko, lifted off from Kazakhstan on October 31, 2000, and arrived at the station two days later. Over the following two decades, the station would welcome 241 people from 19 countries. The space lab is expected to remain operational until at least 2030, after which it is expected to be decommissioned with the spacecraft burning up in a controlled re-entry.
