The ISS has a live YouTube feed click here, which often shows astronauts experimenting and completing routine operations outside the huge satellite which orbits earth at over 28,000km/h. A documentary about its development and some of the problems faced by humans in space can be observed by clicking here. Another video shows how simple tasks like brushing your teeth are managed in an almost zero gravity environment click here.
