Space Station Marathon Starting This Weekend

Posted by timothy on from the this-calls-for-a-twitter-mashup dept.

RobGoldsmith writes with this snippet from Space Fellowship: "If you've never seen a spaceship with your own eyes, now's your chance. The International Space Station (ISS) is about to make a remarkable series of flybys over the United States. Beginning this 4th of July weekend, the station will appear once, twice, and sometimes three times a day for many days in a row. No matter where you live, you should have at least a few opportunities to see the biggest spaceship ever built."

    Here you have bigger ones (IIS should not count even as a spot compared with the size of i.e. ringworld). But if we put "in the real world, as far as we know", yeah, could be the biggest so far.
