[QUOTE="svnmag, post: 92724, member: 330"] First time I saw that SOB I was listening to C2C as some whackjob was explaining how you could watch space battles with Gen 3 NODs/NVD's whatever the hell the quagmire wanted me to call them. Well guess what [B][I]I[/I][/B] was doing?...Correct! It was a Tuesday night or such and I was in the boonies with the seat laid back like this "Snoop Dog" watching satellites and meteors (there's lots of meteors every night); waiting with baited breath for a good spaceship battle. After two hours of his wolverine stories I quickly determined this was a load and settled in to enjoy less fanciful celestial happenings. I was about to pack it in just before daybreak when this damn thing floated into view and literally scared the piss out of me. It was like looking at a slow camera flash. Without the NODs it looked like a really high Chi-com lantern floating toward the sunrise. I had an idea what it was and a little 'net research confirmed. I later learned you could see the Space Shuttle and Hubble Telescope in the same manner. I was VERY disappointed when one of the last Shuttle re-entries was cancelled over ND. Went out on the deck ass-crack early for this. Denied. FUN FACT: The ISS is 220 miles high and travels at 17,500mph. When it was over the horizon in Minot, we used to run back in the house to find it was over the Great Lakes on the NASA website. Good stuff to do with the kids.
