[simpits-tech] OT: Space Station

[Jim K.]

Everyone,
The space shuttle just went up for a mission last night.  It will dock with 
the space station on monday.   Check out the below web site. Once you 
select your location it will show you when the ISS and STS will fly 
overhead.  Its awesome to see.  ISS = International Space Station and 
STS-113 = Space Transportation System, mission 113 which is the 
shuttle.  The best ones to see are the ones that are the brightest.  So 
look under MAG and the ones with the most negative number are the 
brightest.  The coolest time to see these would be just prior to docking 
and just after undocking as you would see two bright objects travelling 
overhead.  Its VERY cool

Jim
