For 25 years, the International Space Station has been humanity’s home beyond Earth — a place where gravity disappears, nations unite, and science pushes the limits of what’s possible. From growing perfect protein crystals to testing how the human body survives in microgravity, the ISS has shaped nearly everything we know about living and working in space.
But after all these discoveries, are we really ready to take the next step — to the Moon… and then to Mars?
In this video, we’ll explore the groundbreaking science done aboard the ISS, the global collaboration that made it possible, and the new physics and engineering challenges we’ll face as we leave Earth orbit behind. From radiation exposure to life-support systems, see how the lessons learned in low Earth orbit are paving the way for the next era of exploration.
