This IS the greatest country on the face of the earth.

I'm standing in front of my TV and thinking the same thing. What skill, what courage, what innovation, what FREEDOM!

It'll have a final speed of 18,000 MPH.

I'm just astonished anything can go that fast.

Is that in or out of our atmosphere?

Everyone, go to www.heavens-above.com in a few hours, the ISS and shuttle should make a few passes over the west tonite and tomorrow, you may get a rare chance to see the shuttle and station flying in tandem across your sky, its quite nice.
