I don't know how many of you are stargazers but here's a couple of links to track the Space Shuttle Endeavour docked with the International Space Station as it orbits our wee planet. http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/tracking/ http://www.heavens-above.com/orbitdisplay.asp?satid=25544&lat=0&lng=0&loc=Unspecified&alt=0&tz=CET Simon. | ||

If you can catch this going overhead, and you're fortunate enough for it to happen just before/after dawn or sunset, it's an amazing sight. Several missions back, the local TV weatherman advised what time and from what direction it would pass over Nashville. Sure enough, I went outside got my bearings and waited. Saw it passing from SW to NE from horizon to horizon, one hell of a reflection as it was still in sunlight at altitude versus my being in dusk on the ground. 17,500 miles looks REAL fast from the ground!
