What time is the landing and is there a site that tells us if it will be visible and if so which parts of the country?

[freepersup]

Landing is at 9:44 AM EST.

Ground track is over the Yucatan, Gulf of Mexico, South Florida and on into the Cape.

Whoops- I misread your verbiage for meaning to view the object(s) overhead.

[Textide]

Saw it a few hours ago trailing behind the ISS. Good site that spaceweather.com

Saw it a few hours ago trailing behind the ISS.

Saw it last night and tonight here in Central CA. REALLY KEWL!!!

[neodad]

Saw them fly by at 6:15 mst. Beautiful!

[JerseyDvl]

Can you see both with the naked eye? The stars at night are big and bright but I don’t know what I’m looking at.

[I see my hands]

I saw this ISS pass about an hour and a half ago with the Shuttle trailing. Very cool!

With this Heavens-Above web site you can dial in your precise location.

I’m a bit confused, change of time zones and all that. It has not come down yet?

I’m in Indonesia and I think I’ve misread the post. It has about 12 hours, a little less, before landing, right?

[GoDuke]

On a good night the ISS looks like Venus but moving across the sky. You can’t miss it. Real cool!

[onedoug]

Landing 9:44 AM EST; 6:44 PST ping

I’ll be up. Great mission.

[londonfog]

I am very serious. This is such a waste of money we don’t have . The crew looks like a commercial for diversity. They go up and do nothing and then come down. Total joke.

[Slump Tester]

"This is such a waste of money we don’t have."

BS! If we can give the welfare chumps cell phones and buy them 60 minutes each month, we can certainly do this.

Folks who think like you kill innovation and new technology.
