International Space Station

Even if you are not into engineering in any way, this is still fascinating and even somewhat incredible.
Look at what happened from 1998 until 2008. In just ten 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.
This is really cool..... Click below (and notice the size at the end of the video compared with a B-767.)

That's really interesting Roy, thanks for the posting. I wonder when Richard Branston will start flying his space bus there :)
