Watch the pieces come together as they are sent up from Earth. This is the International Space Station (ISS) Assembly diagram, piece by piece.

I had no idea the Space Station had grown to this size.

What a piece of engineering!!

I´m waiting for some nation to build a tractor beam module. http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/764_yes.gif (http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/view-764_yes.gif) Or whatever it was called in SW.

Actually, I´m eagerly waiting the nano-material-based pole to be built from Earth to the station. It would be such a cool elevator ride. http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/573_laugh.gif (http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/view-573_laugh.gif)

A truely amazing feat! It just goes to show there is nothing we can't accomplish when we set our minds to it.

Too bad, no more Shuttles... how can we be so smart and so dumb all at the same time? Makes you wonder.

Anyway, thanks HD for posting that.
