INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION


Thanks to my friend Richard in Tucson, for sending me this link to an animated time-lapse assembly of the International Space Station, from 1998 through today. The ISS is now the largest artificial satellite orbiting the Earth, and is visible to the naked eye. It serves as a research facility for scientists from many nations -- an example of the international cooperation which should permeate all human interactions, and perhaps one day will.
