Space Station Crews Mark Three Years Aboard
In a period that has exemplified the benefits of international cooperation
in space, the International Space Station will complete a third year
of permanent human presence aboard on Sunday, Nov. 2.
The third year
of humans living aboard the station has been marked by the perseverance
of the orbiting laboratory and international partnership through
the tragedy of the Columbia accident.
"Every endeavour
that continuously pushes the boundaries of human achievement can
have times of both great triumph and great tragedy. The space agencies
and nations around the world that are our partners in the Station
understand that and they have experienced it," ISS Program Manager

and it will strengthen the Station through both the improvements
in safety that we plan and the lessons we learn together." MORE
