How do they get a space station into space?
Getting a space station in space is just like a construction site on Earth. the only thing different is you have to get the parts up into space with a shuttle. In the shuttle, there is a big loading dock to put parts in. This is right behind the cockpit. Its sort of like a pickup truck that will go to space. Then, when you get up there, you start to build onto the amount of parts that you piece together. This is done (most likely) in a long span of time because it costs approximately $10,000 to send a pound into space.
