SUMMARY
The New York Times published an article celebrating the 20th anniversary of the International Space Station (ISS) being continuously occupied, highlighting its interior features through images and a timeline. The article showcases various aspects of life aboard the ISS, including the use of duct tape for repairs, although no mention of WD-40 was made.
