It travels over 17,000 mph, and orbits the planet in 90 minutes, so yeah it's fast.

Awesome!

I've seen it several times. Has to be near Sunrise/Sunset times to get the right reflection.
Really cool to see it fly in and out of view.

On February 1st 2003 my fiance and I were driving out to the lake house in Texas we both spotted something burning up overhead going by at a blazing speed, we later found out it was a space shuttle Columbia burning up Seven helpless astronaut's on my birthday of all things.

Been watching for a couple years now. Got the kids in the neighborhood out too. It's so cool to see. I love when it just disappears.
