I'm a geek, I admit it. I've been surfing around for more information about the International Space Station flyover so I don't miss it (since I already experienced the letdowm of thinking I'd missed it on Wednesday morning!)

Here's a cool, albeit slightly technical, list of potential satellite viewing times in San Antonio, Texas. (Yes, the space station -- as a man-made, orbiting craft -- is called a satellite.) OK, gang -- we have four whole minutes of viewing before the ISS whizzes on by Thursday, starting at 5:58 AM.

If you don't live in San Antonio, or you missed Thursday's passage of the International Space Station, don't fret -- you haven't permanently missed your chance! NASA's Human Spaceflight Center keeps a running calendar of potential satellite viewing opportunities worldwide (more than 100 cities are listed.) Bookmark that page if you find it interesting, as NASA updates the data each month.
