International Space Station Flyover ::

Just curious if anyone else had the opportunity to see it. It was very visible here in North Alabama and I would imagine that it would have been very visible throughout most of the South even in a fairly well lighted area.

I'll check the schedule again and post if there is another sighting opportunity soon! In the meantime here is a photograph of astronaut Steve Bowen on one of his EVA's from this mission:



Looks like Don has stayed inside so far. I can't imagine what it must feel like to be hanging out there approximately 230 miles above the Earth. Most astronauts I have talked with say that they're so busy on an EVA (Extra Vehicular Activity-to us a spacewalk) that they usually get very few moments to enjoy the view.
