...is when you're trying to take a long exposure of the night sky. Sure enough, there's that tell-tale streak.
City dwellers don't see the ISS often, but go out to a good dark spot suitable for really examining heavenly objects, and you will realize just how many sattelites/orbiting objects are really up there, and how obvious they are.
I must admit, it was novel the first couple of times. At this point however, I'm beginning to advocate bases on the moon.

hahahah April fools again, eh? Slashdot? I watch TV too and yes, on Enterprise I see a imaginary world where manmade "ships" are traversing space and are in orbit around the earth.
However, I know that TV is fictional.
Hello? Earth to editors: There are no "Space Stations" And even if there were, how would it "orbit" around the earth, which is, as we all know a flat plate balanced on the back of a tortise. The damn turtle would eat it! I don't know how this one slipped by the usually brilliant slashdot editors. I think this one also fooled other worthy news sources such as Fox, MSNBC, and The Onion.

Most importantly folks, this is a fantastic opportunity to go outside and yell "That's no moon! It's a space station!" at people who pass you on the street.
That's not a moon...
