Cool Animation Tells the Story of the Space Station [Video]

Just published by TED-Ed, this animated video tells the story of the International Space Station.

TED-Ed:

The International Space Station is roughly the size of a six-bedroom house and weighs more than 320 cars — it’s so large that no single rocket could have lifted it into orbit. Instead, it was assembled piece by piece while hurtling through space at 28,000 kilometers per hour, lapping the Earth once every 90 minutes.
