Imagine living in a house that floats in outer space and moves faster than a speeding bullet! In this thrilling episode of History's Not Boring, Mira and Finn blast off to explore the International Space Station (ISS). Did you know there is a giant laboratory as big as a football field orbiting high above Earth right now? Discover how astronauts built this one-million-pound puzzle piece by piece while floating in the dark. You'll learn all the wild secrets of living in zero gravity! Find out why astronauts have to strap themselves to the walls just to sleep, and why they see sixteen different sunrises every single day. Plus, get ready for some serious giggles and groans as we reveal how they go to the bathroom using a space vacuum, why they eat tortillas instead of bread, and the gross-but-amazing truth about how they recycle their own pee into perfectly clean drinking water! Join us for an out-of-this-world adventure to learn all about the most amazing house ever built—the one that never touches the ground!
