Updated when Justin got home and reminded me the flyover is tomorrow, Thursday 9/18/03...
So, that "I missed it" postscript below was just a false alarm. :rolleyes:

PostScript: For anyone wondering about what the International Space Station (ISS) overflight looked like from here... I wish I could tell you. One, I stayed up far too late (2 AM) for the 5:58 AM overflight time and two, San Antonio was covered in a dense overcast layer when I finally did wake up (a little shy of 9 AM).
I'm ashamed to admit it...since as a kid, I used to be the goofball that set her alarm clock to see things like that in the night sky. My parents would never get too worried if they heard the backyard door slide open in the wee hours... all they needed to do was peer out their bedroom window and find me on a chaise lounge peering up at the stars. 'Course, now when I visit my parents place their trees have taken over (in a nice way, as far as shade and bird attracting capabilities go) so you can't see the sky anymore...
