I've been trying to get a glimpse of the shuttle in orbit since the launch but the weather here has not been cooperating. Until today. Yea! I have a chance at 6:57pm to see both it and the International Space Station.

If any of you SoCal'ers would like to step out and have a look here are your chances:

That was too cool. I took Headliner and Moonie Jr. out to see the Shuttle and Station flyby. A great night for it! See it if you can!
