Current Event

Imagine having an actual space station, where people basically live up in outer space. Now you might think that's unlikely, but China is planning to make a space station called the "Tiangong-1" in 2011. Now its just a plan, but prototypes are being built as we speak. They have to make the perfect machine do aparate so nothing goes wrong. China is doing this to expand on their knowledge on space and do research on zero gravity. This seems pretty facinating to me becuase I have only seen space stations in movies. To see it actually happen in real life is a milestone for the science world. Along with being able to build a space station, that will help understand possible buildings on other planets.
