      They updated the systems on the ISS just 5 years ago, so yes, you do basically get wi-fi in space.

      They have data and radio connections with the Earth they can use in a similar way to how we use the internet. This allows them to email, radio, phone and video chat with people on earth 🙂

      Do they have actual wifi though? I am surprised if they do – perhaps Simon knows?
