the international space station

[missteps]

last night i got to watch the international space station pass by my house at, according to my really quick back-of-the-envelope calculation, 5500 meters per second. it took about 3 minutes to get from the southwest part of the sky to the southeast, and it arced as high as 30 degrees above the horizon

your calculations are impressive.

i would go to that depending on what time it starts...

if it starts after 6 i'd have to be at work.

you don't live in the city?
