International Space Station

no offense to supporters of the iss, but i think it's a real white elephant (useless). i've heard that it'll be obsolete before they finish building it. it's also a real drain on NASA's budget. they should have at least made it like stanley kubrick's 2001 station (rotational for artificial gravity).

As for the animation, it's quite good yardbird.

Good graphics but the white elephant tag is well founded.  Von Braun envisioned a space station as a means to an end.  A way station from which to construct larger vehicles to explore the solar system.  It was never meant to be a destination in itself.  If we had kept the Saturn V in production just think of where we could be today.  Political short sightedness gets us again and again.
