How did the International Space Station get to space?

Answer:
The space station, now weighing several tons, did not get up there in one launch. U.S. space shuttles and Russian, Canadian, and Japanese rockets brought pods. These smaller sections were peiced togather in orbit until you have what hangs over our heads today.
