Anybody been watching the space station fly over? Our 7 yr old grandson was fascinated the other night. He didn't know astronauts were people! lol
Here's where you can check to see when it's going over your town.

Human Space Flight (HSF) - Realtime Data
Just click on "go to country" on the upper left and go from there.

If you go down to the bus station or the railroad station, you can see some spaced out.

Just keep checking back every now and then.

Cruxan, check out Heavens-Above Home Page. You'll have to set it up for your town. This one is for where I live. Tells you where the satellites are, the planets, etc. Remember the tool belt that got away from the astronaut a couple years ago? Until it burned up this page told you when you could see it too.
