I have just been sent this email and thought it was so interesting I should share it.

International Space Station

I guess many of us had lost track of what was going on with the program. Wow. The following link will show the growth of the station since launch. On the rightside of the screen there is a list of the individual modules. By clicking on the module name, you will get a detailed picture of it, that can be rotated, along with a brief explanation. Pretty amazing.
International Space Station

Look at what happened since 1998. In twelve years it has grown and grown.

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. This is really cool..... Click below
(and notice the size at the end of the video compared with a large airplane.)
