You're so lucky to see it live!
I saw one go in the late 80's. It was awesome in person.

I saw one go in the late 80's.I hope I can get to see one before they are retired.
Late August I was with a couple of buds just above North Bay.
We we're fishing at night with the sky wonderfully clear and full of stars
and the lake so calm that the Milky Way reflected in it.
As we looked for shooting stars a brilliant object appeared over the horizon
and made its way majestically across the firmament.
We knew right away it had to be the ISS. What an awesome treat it was to see.

If the launches were not cancelled at the last minute so many times it would be well worth a ride to the Cape to see the event real up close and personal.

The Space Shuttle was developed using '70s technology, it was used prominently in the '80s. It was good for its time.
However, we are now in the late '00s, and we should be able to come up with something that is much more advanced than this obsolete Space Shuttle.

Was it Atlantis? Could have been carrying my bird aloft. :-)
