How Big Is the ISS Compared to Science Fiction Spaceships?
We are so acclimated to the International Space Station that we don't accord its massive calibration a additional thought. I, for one, took it for accepted until a newly-released NASA photograph reminded me that this affair is huge. So huge that I accursed up Photoshop and did an analogy comparing it to a Colonial Viper Mk1, a Corellian corvette, the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A, and the new Battlestar Galactica. I don't apperceive about you, but this one absolutely accomplish me go oh-ah. Maybe it's all a affected and that guy is a Lego Minifig.
