The Discovery Shuttle Overhead Sighting

FLYBY ALERT: In a twilight launch of stunning beauty, space shuttle Discovery left Earth last night on a two week construction mission to the International Space Station (ISS). Discovery is now approaching the ISS for docking on March 17th. The timing of this mission favors sky watchers in North America and Europe who will be able to see the two spacecraft flying over many towns and cities in the evenings ahead. Tonight, March 16th, is extra-special because the not-yet-docked duo will appear as distinct points of bright light flying one after the other through the twilight sky--a rare "double flyby."

Also I got a better look than a flyby a few weeks ago. Its a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.

Dang, I saw that and thought they was UFO's coming to declare war. I know the Arquillians are still looking for the Star of Zartha. And the "Bug" in Edgar's body is still trying to find "The Galaxy".

I was really worried and it was just our own satelites, Double Dang!!!!!!!!!!!
