For those who don't already know this: NASA publishes a list of sighting opportunities for both the Space Station, and the shuttle when it is up. I just watched both of them tonight.

Have you ever watched Jupiter through a 12 or 13-inch reflector? Amazing. You'll shit your pants if you're not careful.

Yeah I watched poor Jupiter when the comet smacked it, really extremely cool.

Sort of got me to thinking what if it had been earth being smacked ?

I first turned a telescope on it when I was about 10, I saw it near Orion and couldn't quite figure out what it was. It is a very cool thing to view even with a less powerful telescope. Of course, my equipment has gotten better over the years.

I want to find out what's on Europa, Jupiter's moon. There's supposedly a liquid ocean there, that may potentialy have life.

They are testing the auto-pilot subs they plan to use in deep crevice diving here on Earth currently.

Didn't you watch the 20XX movies ?

Yep. that's where I first got fascinated with Europa - like 20 years ago.

If we do finf d life on Europa I expect it to be a low level type that would only vote for Neocons.
