Space Lab

This evening, on an email tip from David Ruthstrom, Debbie and I watched the International Space Lab pass overhead, from horizon to horizon, brighter than Venus, which it passed right by. It took less than ten minutes to orbit out of the western sky and track east, right over El Paso, about 45 degrees above the horizon. I was watching from our back yard and Debbie from the roof of the hospital, since she's working tonight. It was cool.

...Yeah I bet it was a sore sight
for sore eyes and a great view as you seem to have discribed it...
Too bad you couldn't take a photo
of it; would have been even better,
right...?
