Follow the ISS. It was really low and bright for us last week, almost like a super fast airplane streaking across the night sky. No Rancor seen.

Atlantis is on the launch pad as I type, for an 8th of July fianl Shuttle launch. I sure hope the ISS doesn't need a gasket or a screw, there will be no more Shuttle launches after this one. A sad day for American Space travel.
Ride safe all.

Is NASA going to pull those "reunion" tour launches like so many groups do? "No really, this is the last one,really".

It's really the last one.  It could be delayed, of course, for a myriad of reasons but it truly is the last one.
