The largest spacecraft ever built by mankind, the ISS just celebrated its tenth birthday:

By the time the first element launch anniversary rolls around on Nov. 20, the space station will have completed 57,309 orbits of the Earth, a distance of 1,432,725,000 miles.

ISS we're a little late in wishing you a happy birthday, but here's to you - bartender, a round of recycled astronaut pee for everyone!
