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. I saw the Shuttle and Mir flying in tandem a few years back, about five moon widths apart. There also was a third visible satellite almost in the same orbital plane.

From spaceflightnow.com:
A quick review of video shows small pieces of debris shedding from the external fuel tank about three minutes after liftoff.

I see they have a "kids" and "student" section. That should be good for him. Will be interesting for me, too. Thanks so much for the info!

I'm not too worried, it was when they were pretty high up, and it was pretty small, I think it will be a clean bottom.
