Thanks. I got to see the shuttle pass overhead tonight at 5:43 to 5:47 CST from the NNW. A real treat to see it. Won’t be many more to see.

Nice video but why do people always ruin a good video with music effects?

How far apart were they? The ISS was so bright I could not see the Shuttle so I just assumed they were really close together. Which, it is still a real treat to see this.

Wow! I watch every video I can find at NASA.gov but this was the most detailed and smooth video I’ve seen yet. Thanks for the link.

Atlantis was not too far behind, I could see them both together, so maybe 25 seconds difference. Atlantis was much dimmer here in SoCal, it wasn’t an optimum pass but visable.

Well, shucks. I didn’t think the Shuttle would be that far behind. I was looking with binoculars but didn’t see any other movement. Too bad.

The ISS will pass over again tomorrow evening at 06:03:42 pm local time CST (SE Alabama) out of the WNW at an elevation of 34.1 degrees but I think the Shuttle will have already landed.

We were in Orlando and my husband and son saw the launch from there. They were dazzled. Stupid me, I didn’t go outside because I didn’t believe it would be so visible.

I live about an hour and a half south of the Cape.
I’ve seen about 30 shoot off and each is spectacular.
About a year ago I flew with my son to about 10,000 feet up over Sebastian and we watched one take off and come up to us. WOW.
Night launches are by far the best to watch.
Try to go to the causway on the north side of the cruise ship terminals for the closest and best view.
Not too many left, if you have not seen one, it is by far better than than any e ticket ride at Disney World.

Amazing! I have never seen some of those camera angles before. The SRB splashdown was really neat!
