This remarkable feat of human engineering shouldn’t be ignored: a flying machine that measures 357 ft. (109 m), by 239 ft. (73 m), weighs nearly one million lbs. (420,000 kg) and has logged more than 80,000 orbits of the Earth since it began carrying crews in 2000. Is this our Roman Coliseum? Our Pyramid of Giza? History will judge that, but in the contest for wonders of the world, the ISS at least makes the medal round. On July 9, Time.com got a chance to talk via video downlink with three of the six astronauts aboard the ISS, who shared with us a little bit about their schedule, their work, what they miss on Earth—and about following the World Cup from 230 miles up in space. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2970293/time-space-station-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2970293/time-space-station-video/"},"headline":"Watch TIME.com Chat With the Crew of the International Space Station","datePublished":"2014-07-09T20:32:31.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T09:03:24.250Z","description":"A few minutes with 3 men putting in a very long day","url":"https://time.com/2970293/time-space-station-video/","keywords":["video","russia","Space","NASA","Germany","astronauts","iss","space station","2014 World Cup"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbdd0bfed780d87f6/69869b17810bbbde0cc9289d/iss-astronauts-time-interview.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jeffrey Kluger","jobTitle":"Editor at Large","url":"https://time.com/author/jeffrey-kluger/"}],"articleSection":"Science","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbdd0bfed780d87f6/69869b17810bbbde0cc9289d/iss-astronauts-time-interview.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Astronauts aboard the International Space Station","caption":"ISS International Space Station","creditText":"NASA","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/science/","name":"Science"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/video/","name":"video"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2970293/time-space-station-video/","name":"Watch TIME.com Chat With the Crew of the International Space Station"}}]}] ```
