Lucky for me, I was able to run outside with my kids & mother who was visiting around 7:45 on Tues. evening and see the International Space Station & the discovery shuttle fly by! Interestingly, the 'hook' up between the shuttle & crew with the space station was above Australia around 4:19pm, about 22o miles above the earth. It was then to fly over Eastern Mass/Boston around 7:41pm. Sure is fast!There were a lot of bright 'pretty' things in the sky that night, but this was a very bright light moving 'wicked' fast across the sky. Pretty amazing to think about. For more interesting photos. and info. check out www.nasa.gov . I also read that the crew woke up to Johnny Cash's "I walk the line" song. Here is a video of that:
