Last night (8 July 2006) I had the wonderful pleasure of observing the International Space Station with the Space Shuttle docked to it pass over my location.
We were holding our normal Saturday Night Simplex net and Net Control made the announcement for everyone to go out side at about 8:30PM local time to see this amazing event.
My wife, two sons and myself went outside and I had told two neighbors about what was going on. We saw the ISS/Space Shuttle come into view and watched it till it was no longer visible. After it was gone we were all on the local repeater sharing our experience. Later that night on the 10 o’ clock news there was a story of the Astronauts doing the Space walk and I told my 7 year old son that those were the people that just flew over our house, he thought that was just so cool...
So did I!!!
Anyone else witness this last night?
