A Very Cool ISS Animation

USAToday features an animated time line of the construction of the International Space Station. It begins with the arrival in orbit of the Russian-built Zarya module in November 1998 and ends with the future installation of the Jules Verne automated transfer module.

As each module arrives, you can click on the menu at right screen to get more info - and more animation - on each module. Very cool indeed. I could spend a lot of time in the Cupola attached to Node #3 (when it arrives).

Lots more on the ISS at National Geographic.
