Last night with a clear sky and quarter moon here in upstate N.Y. Discovery and the space station passed right overhead in tandem. Up this way don't get to many chances to see anything like that. They were flat hauling the lumber up there, out of sight in about 10 seconds.

Thanks Dave, Went to the site last night and found out the space station was going to pass over at 7:21 to 7:25. We went out at those times and there it was. Moves very fast, Impressive!

Very cool Scott! I actually haven't managed to line up a passover to see yet but will soon. I hear it's easy to see the space station and at 17.5 or 18 thousand miles an hour I bet it zips right by!
