Space Station

Last night we saw the International Space Station catapult through space at 17,500 miles per hour. We had a clear view of the space station in the night sky for three minutes until is disappeared behind the earth's shadow. Lydia cried when it disappeared because she wanted a ride. Thanks, Grandpa Tom, for getting us out into our backyard to see something so mind-bogglingly amazing (and for the tutorial over the cell phone).

The International Space Station will be visible in the evenings until October 8. Go here to find the schedule.
