Space Station
A question:
When the International Space Station was launched ( 10 or 15 years ago?) I remember getting notice that it would pass over my home and that it would be highly visible. It was, and the ISS was incredibly bright.
What I cannot understand is why I have never seen the ISS from cruise altitude. The station orbits the earth around 15 times a day and is most visible at or around sunrise/sunset. I have been airborne for 12 hours at a time, almost always including a sunrise/sunset, routing variously 50N to 50s over a 10 year period. How can it be that I have never seen the ISS from the flight deck? (I wasn't asleep....)
Have you seen it pass over you in flight......?
