I love this stuff... Saw the iss while in Boston on Friday.

I remember in 1960 seeing EchoI at dusk. A mylar balloon to bounce radio signal off. This space stuff still gives me a rush. I nearly over tached at the Space Center....:uhuh:

Kewl. I've seen both before but several years ago . The thing that is nice is that they are moving fast enough that the movement helps you pick them out easily from the nearly stationary appearing stars.

8:26 - 8:30 in Warwick RI as well

One of the guys I work with, his nephew is Steve Bowen mission specialist. This is his second shuttle mission, and the whole family goes down for the launch.

It should be a great night to see , I missed the Fri. one it was overcast, I've seen 2 space shuttles go over in the past, yes they do move fast so it's kinda easy to see if your looking in the right spot . It will be on time so be ready.

totally off topic but I had to tell someone:rollem:

Just saw it, thanks for the heads up. Pretty cool stuff, im going to keep an eye on that website now.

cool...it was bright

that was neat. Had the whole family out there. Friggin mosquitoes are brutal tonite.

I couldnt see it :(

the bats were going nuts here munching those blood suckers

Very cool how it first showed between the Moon and Venus.

better there than between Venus and Uranus. Send some of those bats to Lakeville will yeah

Saw it last summer at night but this was better, must have something to do with being so close to sunset. Seemed bigger.

Mosquitos s u c k e d :wall:

Broke out the Telescope for V & The Moon afterward (no way we'd track the SS/ISS with our scope :buds:

I think that was one of the best views I had, it surely was the longest path across the entire sky. That 1st appearance next to Venus was cool.

The only better view was when the station and shuttle were flying in tandem shortly after the shuttle undocked from the station.

Crappy shot from the cell phone

8:51 tonight. Lower angle with one minute duration.
