Check this out at about 2:45 am tune your scanners or ham radios to 145.990 and you can receive a signal from a space suit that has been thrown overboard from the space station. I live in the Seattle area and the time that it will pass over our area is around 2:45 am to about 2:58 am and will be transmitting a voice massage down to earth that can be received by a simple radio scanner. Here is the link.

That's too late for me. What's the message?

Click the link and you'll see what it was - but the batteries died early and it's no longer transmitting.
