I hope you have your questions ready and have read Steven's bio online. Welcome everyone, My name is Steve Cain, and welcome the opportunity to chat with you all about the International Space Station. When will the space station be finished Michael, The Space Station is planned to be complete in the Year 2006. At that time, the Space Station will be able to have a permanent crew of 7 astronauts on board. Marius, That is a great question.
Most people believe the reason for space station is to build it.
The main reason for station is to do reasearch. The Space station is the next step to learning how to live in space so we can travel to different planets. Also to develop new materials and medicines.
