Another module was added to the International Space Station recently, and a bunch of parts were moved around.  I think this is a neat graphic

Mr. Analog

That's pretty cool. It would be interesting to see what sort of expansion they have planned (I'm not "all up ons" ISS development track).

Very nifty. I wonder if the ISS will have a similar fate as the Mars rovers in that it will outlive and see continued use after its expected operation date as that date is quickly arriving.

Edit:  the wikipedia article about the ISS is pretty damn good.  Lots of info for those interested.

One thing's for sure...  Looking at that graphic from the article makes me remember the good old days of building the spaceship bit by bit in Civilization.
