Tonight I watched the Space Shuttle Discovery following the International Space Station for the last time. Because of the NASA website I am able to know the times that the Space Station or Shuttles are viewable from my area in Tennessee. I hear that after this last mission it will be heading to a museum.
I wanted to see both of them still connected but it wasn't to be. Tonight was the first chance for me to see them and they were already separated. They looked like they were only a little bit apart but probably many miles.
In order for me to watch this last flight of the Discovery I needed to jump on my ATV and ride up on top of the hill behind my home. From my location it was viewed in the northern skies and the hill was blocking that. At 7:32 pm, right on time, the two of them came streaking across the sky. It was quiet a sight.
