Interactive tour of the International Space Station
I thought this was a pretty nifty site NASA made that allows you to find out all sorts of things about the space station. Propaganda, to be sure, but still nifty.
To be honest, the station has been creeping slowly together that I hadn’t realized how big it had gotten when I used the 3-D walkthrough. Also cool was the shuttle fly around of the station.

Someone build a fully detailed Second Life model of that.
…and watch it hang suspended in vacuum loneliness for most of the day.

They already have. And yes, it is pretty sparsely populated.
Here’s an article that discusses NASA’s CoLab:
