Welcome to Floating Humans




Once upon a night sky, I believed I could touch the Moon.
My dad lifted me toward the stars, and I’ve been reaching ever since.

Here at Floating Humans, we explore what it really means to live beyond gravity — from the science that keeps astronauts alive aboard the International Space Station, to the quiet psychology of watching Earth rise from orbit.

This isn’t just another space blog. It’s a collection of stories, systems, and small moments that remind us how fragile and extraordinary human life truly is.

Expect essays about ISS life, microgravity experiments, space technology, and the human spirit that refuses to stop exploring.

Whether you come for the science, the story, or the spark — welcome.

Because curiosity is more than learning. It’s hope disguised as exploration. ⭐🌟⭐
