| The International Space Station (ISS) with humans on board turned 15 on November 2 and NASA is celebrating the event with a delightful musical video.
The video details interesting facts about the orbiting laboratory station in twanging verse.
It also explains the station's logistics. Over 200 people have lived on the space station so far with nearly 1,700 science experiments being conducted onboard the lab.
Celebrating this, Dr John Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said that the ISS is a unique laboratory that has enabled groundbreaking research in the life and physical sciences and has provided a test bed for the technologies that will allow NASA to once again send astronauts beyond Earth's orbit.
"The international partnership that built and maintains the station is a shining example, moreover, of what humanity can accomplish when we work together in peace," he said in a statement.
"I congratulate all of the men and women at NASA and around the world who have worked so hard to keep the International Space Station operational these past 15 years. Everyone involved can be proud of this incredible achievement," he added.
The ISS, which US President Barack Obama has extended through 2024, is a testament to the ingenuity and boundless imagination of the human spirit.
"The work being done on board is an essential part of NASA's journey to Mars, which will bring American astronauts to the Red Planet in the 2030s," noted NASA administrator Charles Bolden.
