Space Stations 

The first pace stations were the Russian Salyut series. Then came Skylab, Mir and the International Space Stations. From the beginning, all of the space stations have had the same purpose: to conduct experiments and to make a place for permanent life in space. Space stations will be like a springboard to other planets and to outer space. They will be used as places to launch and dock space crafts. In the future, space stations will be open to the public. They might be cities with many people from from many different nations. If we live in space on space stations, then living on another world might not sound so far-fetched.
