OK, so I’m a nerd. I try not to be, but on shuttle days (take off and landings), it always comes out.
Had a thought this morning. If Garmin (of GPS fame) could rig it so the lat long of the shuttle or the ISS could be directly via the i-net input into a gps receiver, you could see how far away the shuttle / ISS is away from you. Might be a fun use of your GPS sets.
What cha think (other nerds)?

STA @ KSC
“Coming down to South to take a look at other buildups
“220 at 13 biggest buildup (no idea what that means)
STA at 14,000, buildup is well above STA
“Weather at 33mi on radar.”
KSC has a chance right now!
Of course that would be cool, but a website had a gag gift where you could buy a laser which would hook up to a GPS and “paint” airplanes flying overhead using their GPS transponders. All we would need is some nut out there using the GPS to their advantage and attempt to crash the shuttle.
