> Isn't that space station getting big enough to see with the unaided eye? They put those whopping big solar panels on it and turned it into a football field. I remember seeing the Echo I, 100 ft diameter, and the Echo II, 135 feet diameter. The ISS should stand out like a zit on the end of you nose. I guess you have to know where and when to look.

Here's it's current location:
