ISS

if you ever want to get a visceral sense of what 17,000 mph looks like - pay attention next time the International Space Station is in your neighborhood. It is fricken unbelievable.

yesterday the ISS was directly over(my)head at (GW-5) 6:20pm - from 6:18 to 6:22. of course the reason it was visible is not because someone left the cabin lights on - its because its 200 miles overhead (moving from west to east) and the sun was reflecting off it (same as the moon). man is that thing bright - particularly when overhead.

to think dudes are up there lookin back at us... just amazing.
