Humankind’s desire to explore outer space spawned the International Space Station –ISS– in November 1998 when the first piece of the station was launched, which now hosts the astronauts in its current form. In this video, astronaut Thomas Pesquet arranged a space station tour to give information about what’s around.

Orbiting Earth at an average altitude of approximately 250 miles, or 400km, the space station also acts as a science laboratory. Astronauts aboard the space station have recently harvested peppers for the first time, with which they prepared space tacos.

In the video shared on the European Space Agency’s YouTube channel, Pesquet starts from the Russian service module, one of the oldest modules of the space station. As seen during the tour, a lot of equipment is all over the ISS. Incontestably, the most breathtaking moment of the station tour is when the astronaut brings the depths of space to your screens through a window. Wouldn’t you like to be there right now?

To share this excitement and learn more about the International Space Station hovering without a break, make sure you watch the video embedded just above.
