While they spend much of their time doing experiments, they do take a break and play a game of chess (yes, someone from space played against someone on earth over the internet, a few years ago). They are also busy trying to find how living creatures survive in micro-gravity.ISS may just no longer be ISS – as in, one of the 5 space agencies that helped make it and maintain it, wants to break away. Russia (if you're wondering) is the one who wants to move away.Listen to this conversation with 8-yr old Keshav, who, apart from knowing the names of the planets in the solar system, also happens to be quite up-to-date on business plans of SpaceX and the networth of the billionaires on earth.
