How can YOU live on the ISS? (Space Habitation Module, etc.)

Fundamentally, ISS challenges an unforgiving environment where people cannot live unassisted: what makes life there a reality is the latest technology. Through research activities and life at ISS, we will think about what is essential in order to live in a community built outside the boundaries of Earth.
