Summary

Even before humans first went into orbit, there had been dreams of establishing a permanent presence in space. For almost the last 25 years, humanity has achieved just that.

0:21.0	Learn more about the International Space Station, its history,
0:24.4	and its future on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily. Even before Yuri Gagarin was launched into space, people began thinking about how we could
0:47.4	permanently live in space.
0:49.3	Constantine Seylkofsky, the Russian rocket researcher who's considered to be the father of rocket science,
0:54.4	envisioned people living permanently in space as early as the start of the 20th century.
0:58.7	In 1929, the Slovenian theorist Hermann Pla Tolchnick was the first to envision a rotating
1:03.6	wheel in orbit that could simulate the Earth's gravity. Werner von Brown, the head of
