Blake, myself, and GDaddy heard about this opportunity and we couldn't miss it. We actually were just curious to see if we could actually spot it. We drove out into the edge of the field and we knew about what time it was supposed to pass. Blake had the compass and we knew what directions to look. Sure enough, at 5:39 we saw a big steadily moving ball of light come across the field. It looked like a big bright moving star. Blake was able to see it and he pointed to it as it moved. We tried to explain what it was, but it's kind of hard to do that when you are baffled by the whole concept yourself.
When we got back home we googled all kinds of fun facts about the International Space Station. It just makes me feel so small to know that 6 people were in that ball of light orbiting Earth. I find it crazy to think that we even have the technology and skills to even do that. Then I can't even comprehend the whole galaxy thought and how there is SO much out there we don't even know about. Wow!
Simply a really cool moment that lasted 5 minutes. Moments like that are really fun to make you put things into perspective. This wasn't really on our bucket list... but I think it can be a good thing to check off.
Watch the International Space Station orbit over us - Check!! :)
