Japan is a hugely diverse country, especially when it comes to its thousands of islands. There are approximately 6800 to choose from, so you don't have to go far to find mountains, beaches, coral reefs and quaint little villages. Many of the islands are almost untouched by tourism so make for an exceptionally traditional experience.
The International Space Station was built, not created, and the process has taken several years. To be honest, the ISS is a work in progress, and is not yet complete. The â¦first components were launched in 1998, and the most recent major assembly was added just last year, in 2011.
There were three EXPOSE experiments completed between 2008 and 2015: EXPOSE-E, EXPOSE-R and EXPOSE-R2. The EXPOSE-E was launched on February 7, 2008 on board the Space Shuttle Atlantis and was mounted on the ISS European module Columbus to the European Technology Exposure Facility (EuTEF).
