I'm happy for you! You seem to have seen more detail than I have so I'll be looking for another glimose real soon!

good work. i was on a beach last night and the ISS first went past about 10pm, very clear and bright then it passed around 11ish but on a different path and not quite as bright. unfortunetly i didnt have a 'scope or bino's! was great to see as always though!

Thanks Isabelle / Dave,

I grew up watching sci-fi movies with fantastic space stations such as in 2001 or Star Trek, so its fascinating for me to think of what we as a race have achieved with the Skylab, Mir and the ISS.

Next step, space tourism, hopefully in my lifetime, maybe.

On the other hand, maybe not such a fantasy... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12915976

I grew up with Star Trek myself and look to today's technology in the same perspective. Ummmm,.. just let me know when the Klingons come around!
