SOMETHING STRANGE: The International Space Station

Just a little flash animation/interactiv, but what a crazy thing to think about. The amount of time and energy/money/science/boredom/grinding hours that it took to make something so "small" is crushing. In only ten years there is a space station of reasonable size and capability. It takes ten years to build something so small and limited.

I love space. The vast unconquered and unknown black (because it's so far away) dark, above and enshrouding the crowded, busy, catalogued Earth seems so close and no one from here has ever been there before. Having boundaries and discoveries more than 1 person could ever explore in one lifetime (no matter how long that lifetime was) is an almost unbearable thought.

So instead... we make it up?
