On February 20th, the space shuttle Endeavour embarked on an audacious mission, carrying the first module of what would eventually become the International Space Station (ISS). This historic endeavor marked a significant milestone in our quest for space exploration and would consequently pave the way for groundbreaking scientific discoveries, international cooperation, and the realization of a longstanding dream: a permanent human habitat in space.
