In the future, an International space station will definitely be built. This  space station will help launch space craft as well as assist in microgravity experiments. A new reusable spacecraft will supply the station. That craft is already in design stages. The station will be called the International Space Station (ISS).

There will be over 1000 hours of space works to construct the massive international space station. 

One of the first missions that could be launches from the international space station could a mission to mars. The main reason for this would be that the space craft would not have to be launched from earth cutting out that part of the journey and the problems that can occur launching space shuttles form earth. 

The station will have to be supplied from Earth. New, low cost, reusable craft would most likely be the crafts to ship supplies and people to and from the space station. They will cost a lot less to launch than a space shuttle, which means they are a lot more use full than the present space shuttles. They will also be safer and more efficient.

The space station will have much better facilities for the astronauts. At the present time astronauts have to eat freeze dry foods but on the international space station they have the option of boiled lobster or stir fry chicken.  

Most countries would help and it will truly be an international space station.
