00:00 The International Space Station has been continuously inhabited since it was launched in 1998.

04:50 The enthusiasm for space colonization in the 70s laid the groundwork for living in space, but the space shuttle program didn't turn out to be as cheap or frequent as expected, delaying the dream of space colonies, although the idea is still in progress.

09:19 Research in microgravity can lead to the formation of flawless crystals, which can be used to make better semiconductors and more potent drugs, while studying combustion in microgravity can lead to the development of more efficient furnaces and reduced air pollution.

14:00 The first space station, Salyut 1, was launched by the Soviet Union in 1971 and had people living in space, using a combination of the Almaz and Soyuz systems.

19:09 Living in microgravity causes bone loss and fluid redistribution in the body, leading to fainting upon returning to Earth; astronauts are also exposed to radiation and have an increased risk of cancer, making space exploration a risky endeavor.

23:51 The early Soyuz space stations only had one docking port, but later versions added a secondary docking module to allow for the delivery of supplies from Earth; the United States launched the Skylab-1 space station in 1973, which had a rough start but was eventually repaired by three different crews.

28:33 Skylab, the first American space station, had a rough start and ended up on a collision course with Earth, resulting in debris landing in Australia and a teenager collecting a piece and receiving a reward.

33:57 The Mir space station was intended to be permanent, but after encountering various problems and damage, it was eventually crashed into the Earth's atmosphere.

38:51 The International Space Station (ISS) was launched in 1998 and has been continuously inhabited since 2000, with astronauts working about 10 hours a day, Monday through Saturday, and having Sundays off, but they don't love the food and have to overspice it due to reduced sense of taste in space, and they have two toilets that use a fan-driven suction system and a lever to dispose of waste, with the peepee being recycled into drinking water.

43:43 The Chinese launched a space station called Tian Gong One in 2011, but they have lost contact with it and it may come back down to Earth.

48:48 The hosts discuss graduation ceremonies and receive a request to do a show on the "kids today fallacy" where each generation downplays the bad things their own generation did and believes the ones that follow were lazy and entitled.
