    Out Of This World

    Found this link on the GS club site and I hope Ralphy won't mind if I share it. I found them mind blowing, makes my Corsica trip look pretty mundane

    Superb - there is some really cool stuff on the Nasa manned space flight web site. Picture of all of the shuttle stuff and most of the Apollo missions.

    But the best thing is a wee tool where you punch in your post code and it tells you the times and latitude /longditude , approach and depart angles of when the space station will be visable from your gaff (only at night obviously) its brill and scarily accurate , suppose it should be really !!!

    This is the site I was refering to ............. to look for the space station flying overhead.

    http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/


    It's brill fun , find the location nearest to you and away you go.

    All you nead is a clear night sky , once you picked it out the first time it's easy after that as your eye gets "tuned-in" to the image you expect.
