In this extraordinary episode of We Have A NASA, hosts Leeo Bark & Shabu Sheikh explore the incredible story behind “Building the International Space Station”—one of the greatest engineering and international cooperation achievements in human history.
The International Space Station (ISS) is more than just a laboratory in orbit; it is a symbol of global collaboration, scientific innovation, and humanity’s determination to explore beyond Earth. In this episode, we uncover how NASA and its international partners designed, assembled, and expanded the ISS piece by piece over decades of planning, launches, and spacewalks.
Discover the challenges of constructing a massive research facility in the harsh environment of space, the advanced technology that keeps astronauts alive and productive, and the groundbreaking scientific experiments conducted aboard the station. We also explore the astronauts, engineers, and mission teams whose dedication transformed a bold vision into a permanent home in orbit.
Join us as we trace the remarkable journey of the ISS and examine how it continues to shape the future of space exploration, lunar missions, and humanity’s path toward Mars.
Whether you're passionate about NASA, astronauts, engineering, space stations, scientific discovery, or the future of human spaceflight, this episode offers an inspiring look at one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken.
