Heh I agree, but Thanksgiving night (in the US) the ISS was scheduled to make a pass soon after sunset, directly overhead. So about 5 minutes before the pass I got everyone to go outside and look up. Well clouds had rolled in, so obviously it wasnt going to be seen. Everyone was a little disappointed, but then as if by magic a hole broke in the clouds in the exact spot the ISS flew over at the exact time. Everyone was amazed by it.
Ok so the story wasnt that good...
