This is so boring yet so cool! I saw it today at 5:35 for about 3-4 minutes it was awesome! It caught my eye on the ride home from work and when i got home i watched it until it went under the horizon, what a sight! It looks like a star-plane haha.. no beacon lights just a star, flying like a plane.
After that i googled space station sighting opportunities to verify it was, and sure enough it went over my town!
Im going to watch it again tommorow it is supposed to pass over for 4 more minutes!
Eventually it would lose momentum due to the abundance of magentic fields, and the friction from colliding with the subatomic particles and darkmatter which is theorized to populate much of the emptyness of space and cause this phenomenon
It would however take longer then your lifespan for this to happen, so long as you throw it hard enough =) But i would like to see somebody throw a baseball in space! They would also accelerate but in the opposite direction, spinning!
The reason that we can see it is because of the suns light being reflected off it. This is also the reason that we can see planets, they don't produce their own light.
This is great stuff. Always makes me feel humble and apreciative of life when I realize how small we are in this very big universe. Respecta too the women(if any?) and men up there:)
The sun is bouncing off of it. The reason we see the spacestation is because the sun is bouncing off its reflecters. The same way when we fly the first thang you see is the sun reflecting off the waters.
please stop to react to robert grassi. that guy is really crazy!!! he also beleaves that even the images of the planes that flew into the WTC at 9/11 are fake........... that freak is 1) very crazy 2) on drug or something! just look at his facebook site.
I'm with you! I'm not sure of the ISS, but the rest is complete theory made up in the geeky,Star Treck loving, no common sense, but book smart heads of a few scientist that make this stuff up to look cool to the unrealistic non critical thinking public.

i guess you imagine that you can wave your arms in outer space vacuum and so create propulsion
without matter, in a complete vacuum, there is nothing to react against the movements of your arms, you just stay where you are
this means propulsion is not possible in vacuum, for any kind of bird, fish, helicopter, rocket which movements and thrust can only work in an atmosphere
could anyone let me know where and when to look? i am in paterson, nj near newark nj. If it isnt much trouble can you also let me know if the weather will be good enough for me to see? (sorry to trouble you, i dont have much time to check info online)ps. also if u can make it fit my schedule i will apprecciate it.

put one of these tiny helicopter toy in a vacuum chamber
it doesn't take off
because propulsion is not posible when there is no matter, gas or fluid, to react against the rotor movements

Get software that tracks it's movement. Then you can plan where to look by focusing near the stars where it'll pass. That's what I do.

This was the equivalent of a 4000mm telephoto. It was automatically tracking with some fine alignment using a joystick.
