Man the ISS is bright!
Just saw the ISS pass overhead, it's impossible to miss! There are a bunch of good passes the next couple days, here's a good site to find out when it will be over your house.

2. Thanks for that link. It's supposed to pass in about a half hour so I'll
have to run outside. The ISS is that is.

12. The pass last night here looked like a plane
with the landing lights on. It's pretty hard to miss!

4. I might get a look tonight at 9:33 PDT, if it stays clear....
Hard to say-- I'm so near the coast that it usually fogs up at night.

6. The one thing about living in the country is
that I can see all things 'space'.

The bad thing about living in the country is, I have a crappy internet connection.

I could probably see it, if I knew when to look, however, I cannot find out the times because that site won't open for me.

8. i put in the zip for marathon, texas, you may have already missed it anyway
i know texas is a big place so i just picked some random in west texas

i missed it as well in new orleans (very rainy and cloudy)

basically the site just asks for a zip code and it pulls up when/where for ISS and some other satellites like hubble so if it comes up again, just post your zip and i'm sure someone else will be happy to check for you, i know i would if i saw your post
