Ridgewood NJ, yesterday marked a monumental achievement in human history: 25 years of continuous human presence in space! Since November 2, 2000, when the Expedition 1 crew first took residence, the International Space Station (ISS) has been mankind’s permanent home and laboratory in low Earth orbit.
