Default I just saw the Shuttle and the International Space Station!

The Shuttle and the ISS just went over Omaha. It was visible for about three minutes, which was good, because we pretty much needed the first two minutes to figure out where it was in the sky. (in the southwest sky, below the moon)

It wasnt as bright as I thought it was going to be, a lot dimmer than say a high altitude jet would have been, but it was still cool to see it go by, and now I can say that I've seen the ISS. (seen the Shuttle go over before, but never while it had a "buddy" with it)

I think I saw Skylab (or was it Mir?) when I was younger. Cant remember when it was, and I'm actually not all that sure about that memory. Loooong time ago.
