Along Ice-T & Jay-Z I too have 99 problems.

But all those little problems faded to naught when I popped out onto the roof of the pad and gazed at the surprisingly clear sky: Hark! what is that star that moves so brightly across the heavens? Too slow to be a meteor, too fast to be a jetliner, the smoothness & swiftness of its passage can only be LEO. Ah, ISS, how you represent both magnificent isolation and lonliness and yet always have a steady stream of visitors.

You should see it too! It's ace: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/
