re: Good ISS viewing tonight in BR

I miss the days when the shuttle would pass over BR during re-entry for some Florida landings. Especially the night ones like STS-93. We’d watch it pass over, then wait the ten minutes or so for the sonic booms to “catch up.”

Yep. I remember them vividly. It sucked after Columbia when they moved the reentry path to over the Gulf.
It was also cool when you could see the ISS crossing the sky with the shuttle chasing right behind it during shuttle missions. Like two stars running across the sky after each other.

Also, the bright orange plasma trail it left in the sky was one of the coolest things I've seen.
