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!

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.

Unbelievable! I just happened to be browsing posts and came across your link. I checked out my area and saw:

ISS Thu Jun 21 09:46 PM < 1 minute duration

Then I looked at a clock (accurate, of course) and it was 9:47pm.

I saw them last night... after obsessedly watching the space station a few years ago when it got its first set of huge solar panels that made it brighter than Venus at times when i looked up and saw some sort of satellite moving across the sky and then some time later a dimmer one on the same track I kinda said, "huh, I guess that was the ISS and the Space Shuttle" without even having to think about it. It took me a moment to reaqcuire the awe that those weren't just two dots, those are people up there...
