“The Progress is launched from Baikonur in Kazakhstan, just like the So...” — Sunita Williams Quote

The International Space Station is a great place to live for a year.

There are millions of stars out there. It is difficult to think that life does not exist in any one of them.

Sometimes we should express our gratitude for the small and simple things like the scent of the rain, the taste of your favorite food, or the sound of a loved one's voice.
