my kingdom for a camera
i just saw one of the most beautiful sights i have ever seen. i checked onto heavens-above.com to find the shuttle/ISS viewing times for my location. i went outside tonight to watch the shuttle go over.
i got more than i had bargained for. not only did i see the space shuttle drift overhead, i also saw the space station gliding along just ahead. it was wonderful. it was spectacular. i wish i had a camera to show you.
the space station outshone jupiter in the sky and the little space shuttle trailing it was like a small star moving among the the heavens. if the space station were named lucy, and stars were made of diamond, the event could be likened to listening to a beautiful song.

That sounds very cool:) When I move to Nambour if you're still around we can have star gazing nights:)
yes that would be great. i still don't know where i'll be next year, but i'm sure i'll find out soon enough.
