Ben was curious about the following:
How do you plug in your computers if there are no outlets in space?
MAGNUS: Well we have outlets! We get our electricity from the sun through our solar arrays. The power collected from the solar arrays is sent through a distribution system that delivers it all over the space station. Our outlets do not look like the outlets that we have in our houses on Earth so in order to plug computers and other equipment in we had to make special plugs. With the special plugs we can plug all kinds of things in.
