I hope they get it back down safely and they finally park that thing. For good.

This is for someone who asked on another thread recently what the ISS looked like..

The International Space Station is seen from the US space shuttle Atlantis 19 June 2007 as the shuttle leaves the station. Bad weather forced NASA to abandon plans to land the space shuttle Atlantis in Florida on Thursday, keeping the ship's seven astronauts in orbit for at least another day.(AFP/NASA/File)

If you have clear skies tonight, locate your city and find out what time the ISS and shuttle fly over. We watched it the Wednesday night and could see both separated from each other. My brother and a couple co-workers saw them again last night. One more chance tonight! In fact, a little over a half hour from now!

I think posting a for-pay link constitutes advertising.
I thought that is a no-no.

It’s an awesome sight to see the flying in tandem. We saw them together both last night and the night before. We have never before been that lucky.
