cool...

Watched the ISS (international space station) travel from southwest to northeast until it was out of sight. Time of sighting was 6:10 pm. Looked like a bright star moving at a good clip. Back in December we watched it travel from northwest to southeast. That time it faded just as it got to 90 degrees attitude. It's amazing that at the time it came over today it was travelling 17,148 MPH at an altitude of 259 miles, yet it took about 4 minutes from first sighting to fade out. By 6:54 pm it was over Africa. Amazing.

I've seen the space station several times. Once I also saw the shuttle within minutes of seeing the Space Station. It's really cool.

Have seen the shuttle too. Watched it one morning many years ago right after launch. It came up the east coast. Several of us stood outside the hangar with binoculars watching it.
