    They've docked, so what you will see is one point of light.

    Saw both of them last night -- first the ISS, then 15-18 minutes later, the Shuttle.

    Dammit Fen, you crashed the site!

    There's only about a one-hour window or so before dawn and after dusk when you can see it because then it goes into the Earth's shadow.

    Wow, the shuttle's going to be up for 16 days? Even docked at the ISS, that's a long mission.

    Longest ever was 17 days, 15 hours. I seem to remember they could theoretically stay up 24 days if they had to.

    Cool site, btw. Can't see the space station from here, though.
