Astronomy & Space - September 2006

I have been using the heavens above site to see when the Hubble, the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station will be visible from my location. Unfortunatly we have had a couple of days of clouds.
I have 15x70 and 7x35 binoculars and a 5.1" Meade telescope. How much magnification do I need before these satellites show some shape?

If the line was strong enough to hold it without weighing it down.

If your interested go to the human spaceflight realtime data page.
There are links for your city....some city's are not visable.
Here in the north you can't see them sometimes in the winter but are visible in the south.
Also look for days when the shuttle is at it's highest angle because the sky is darker.
You could see the ISS with the naked eye or binoculars...It looks like a cross.

Of course you'll need good weather

Has anyone really sat down and thought about the true intentions of the space stattion? I beleive it is a last ditch to save a select few from the impending doom of the 2032 comet with a calling card for earth. If this is so dont you think a lottery should be held or should they abandon it and face the music like everyone else?
