“It’s an amazing accomplishment.”
Agreed.
Perhaps greater then anything humanity has ever built.
Folks, be sure to try to see the station sometime soon...
Just put in your location here.
Some passes it is very very bright, imposssible to miss.
Sorry, but the space station exists to give the shuttle something to do and the shuttle exist to build the space station.
Really, what does the space station provide, even to space exploration.
