    This is the story of the International Space Station: how it floats, how it falls, and how humans from many different countries built a tiny village together in the dark above the world.

    We'll learn why water becomes perfect floating spheres in space, why fire turns into a small blue ball when there is no up or down, and why astronauts had to choose a bedtime even while morning kept arriving again... and again... and again outside the window.

    A calm bedtime story about real science, human cooperation, and the slow turning of the Earth beneath us.

    🌙 The Bedtime Scientist is a sensory-friendly bedtime podcast for curious kids and the grown-ups beside them. No music. No sound effects. No loud voices. Just one steady voice, and the real wonder of the world, told at the pace of falling asleep.

    New episodes weekly.
