I just watched the space station go over our city. It was followed by the shuttle. It is going east and is probably over the atlantic as I am posting this. <br>Sometimes, the things that create awe can instill a reassessment of priorities. In this case, I am so glad to be alive to see it.<br><br>

NO.....dammit.<br>They announced it on the news and we went out. <br>Besides that, the spaceships only visit me on the weekends. <br>This was the real deal. We even waved to them.<br><br>

It was the same size as a star but much brighter and moved very fast. I was surprised how fast it was. From spotting to disappearing it took maybe 5 minutes.<br>The shuttle was hard to see.<br><br><P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by sross on 10/17/02 09:05 PM (server time).</EM></FONT></P>

I'm still so facinated by all that space stuff. I'd love to go up to the space station. If I were still young I would wanna go for it. <br>I love travelling. <br><br><br><br>

With the Russian space program it only cost $20 million to got to the space, age is not a factor.<br><br>
