CNN Interactive presents a sneak preview of the completed station with this VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) model. You can twist and turn the craft and click on hot spots to learn about the individual components. Also, check out "spacewalk" under the viewpoints menu to get a human perspecive on the Station.

It's easy --here's how you do it:
