International Space Station, As Big as Two Football Fields

The International Space Station will cover an area as big as two football fields when it's fully assembled in space - we'll be able to track it in orbit with the naked eye!

This unused postcard was bought in 2012, but it must be older than that probably around 1999 or 2000.

UPDATE:

The assembly of the International Space Station, a major endeavour in space architecture, began in November 1998. Russian modules launched and docked robotically. All other modules were delivered by the Space Shuttle, which required installation by Int. Space Station and shuttle crewmembers; as of 5 June 2011, they had added 159 components during more than 1,000 hours of EVA activity.

EVA - Extra-vehicular activity (EVA) is any activity done by an astronaut or cosmonaut outside of a spacecraft beyond the Earth's appreciable atmosphere. The term most commonly applies to a spacewalk made outside a craft orbiting Earth (such as the International Space Station), but also has applied to lunar surface exploration (commonly known as moonwalks) performed by six pairs of American astronauts in the Apollo program from 1969 to 1972.
