Check out this excellent graphic showing how the International Space Station was built. As a bonus it also shows the planned future module installations. Very cool and interactive clip.

It`s a shame that some modules maybe reaching the latter part of their lifespan.

MMelphistopheles, nice idea, how about using the shuttles as trucks between station and the moon :-)

A fine monument to mismanagement - or how to spend 100 billion dollars to put 100 million dollars worth of science into low earth orbit.

Pretty awesome. Has anyone thought about converting one of the Space Shuttles into a huge module, permanently docking it to the ISS, and returning the crew via Soyuz? That would give them a heck of a lot of room. They're retiring the shuttles anyway, right? You might even turn it into a space hotel for rich idiots. Just a thought.
