The ISS was built by the USA, Japan, Canada, and Russia.
It was completed on Nov. 20, 1998 and it was launched in 2000.
Since launch, astronauts have been going to the ISS every six months. The crew train for more than eighteen months then they go to the ISS. A crew is made up of six astronauts and they stay on the ISS for six months and then the crew changes.
On the ISS, they have to take care of it so that means going on space walks. A special tool keeps them attached to the ISS.
The ISS orbits the earth. It is a dangerous job. You have to be the best of the best and have a lot of experience.
Shawny the green sea turtle is an injured sea turtle at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center.
Shawny is a green sea turtle found on Tybee Island, GA. It got its flipper stuck in something, most likely a fishing net. The injury was severe. They had to amputate the right flipper. Shawny has two bandages on its back with weights. The turtle is diagonal and with three flippers it’s hard to swim. They hope the weights will make Shawny up right again.
Now Shawny is living at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island.
Green sea turtles are one of seven sea turtle species. The green sea turtles is named not for its color but what it eats. It has a diet of mostly greens.
When I first saw Shawny, I thought it was drowning! But Shawny was fine. The sea turtle center is doing ever thing they can to help Shawny go back to the ocean but Shawny might not be able to go back.
