The International Space Station is so cool. I like to track it across the globe as it races above the earth at a whopping 17,000 miles per hour. How amazing is that.
It was visible from my house last night, unfortunately, I didn't know that until tonight. 😞

They keep catching me, but I don't do it all the time - I promise! 😲

Tell me when it is over China - I'll tell the authorities and start WW3.

They have special methane extractors attached to their asses for fire safety regulation reasons, so it's no prob! 🙂

I was prepared! I am now wearing a glove so my hand is incognito. 😛

Yeah it's pretty amazing isn't it?

Congratulations to STS-117 on successfully docking with ISS and replacing Suni Williams with Mr. Anderson. Suni Williams now holds the record for longest recorded time in space for a woman.

All NASA's hopes lie now in the next launch, STS-118, where they might have a few more new systems to test. STS-118 will be launched August 9, 2007 (assuming weather permits).

(They say that when the ISS is done, it will be able to be seen with the naked eye in the daytime. This is basically an inversion of the Great Wall of CHina (the largest manmade object to be seen from space). The ISS will be the largest manmade object to be seen in space from Earth.)

edit: If anyone can find and name the newest set of systems that NASA is trying on STS-118 in August and deliver it here in post format, I'll PM them about something interesting I saw at NASA this week.

Don't you know, eh?

At least if you don't have clouds. Yes, I've looked at clouds from both sides now, from in and out and still somehow, it's clouds illusions I recall, I really don't know clouds at all.....
