Canadarm: the Canadian Space Agency's contribution to the International Space Station.

This is a very cool piece of space technology. The Canadian Space Agency designed and built this amazing  crane/arm to remotely assemble the station.

This is Astronaut C. Hetfield controlling the arm from inside the space station. It is inspiring to think that the station was mostly built  from the inside out. And you thought the Canadians were only good for brewing beer and designing snowsuits! The ISS could not be built and finished without them!
