## Resource

The International Space Station has been continuously inhabited since the year 2000, serving as a laboratory, home, and engineering marvel orbiting hundreds of miles above Earth. This episode explores the station’s purpose, the international partnership behind it, how astronauts live and work in microgravity, and the research conducted aboard the station. It’s steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!
