Russia sent 3 men up to the international space station today.

I just learned this awhile ago. I didn't know how long something like this takes and was pretty impressed to find out it would only take 6 hours to get there. I don't think I could hang onto my scooter if she'd go that fast, probably wouldn't be any fat left if I could.  So anyway I remembered that I forgot to run out to the country to see the international space station fly over an so I ck'd the site out and had 10 min to get out in the country to see it. It was right on schedule and what a sight. Seen satalites that hover in the area that are bigger and I tried to look at them with a spotting scope and can't make them out.
Their wasn't a star in the sky and that space station was truckin, clear view, in a matter of a couple minutes it was by Western Utah an then we spotted it by Western Mn. Some place and then it should of flown over Thunder bay which should be straight North . we finally watched it go out of sight over maybe lake Huron. I had frantically tried to catch it on the spotting scope and never could. Boy that baby moves fast you should see it.

The first time I saw it years ago the brightness amazed me.  It was 220 miles away at that time and has since been moved to 248 miles.  It came overhead again last Tuesday
