This is mindblowing enginnering. This is humanity at its best. Supreme minds came up with such breathtaking genius. Amazing!

Engineers are a type of species different than human. ❤
What a marvel. I am fascinated and amazed by this.

They covered two topics that I thought deserved better explanations.

#1 Round versus square hatches. I'm sure each country had good reasons for their design choice. What are the pro's and con's of each design?

#2 They spoke at length at how expensive it is to ship oxygen for breathing to the station. Then... lets extract the Oxygen out of H2O. Is there a water fountain in space that negates the shipping cost for water? Each pound of anything costs the same to ship, regardless of it being steel, aluminum, water or air. What factors are involved that give the oxygen extraction from water process the advantage?

this proves that if humanity puts its differences aside we can achieve alot

Those 3D models were so good, I wasn't sure what other shots were real or not.

[ankhels]

Amazing & so informative. Quality all around was great. Thanks! ♥️

some people still think the earth is flat lol

[ftaveras]

Humans can be so creative. Thumbs up from Earth!

Be cool if you told us this documentary is 5 years old. 

Getting up to date info on human achievement is difficult if organisations such as National Geographic don't tell us how old the information is.
