The shuttle made a contrail over San Antonio once and my daughter and I were in total awe thinking there where actually people in the bright object with what appeared to have white smoke (the contrail) coming off it.

It was absolutely awesome. The whole city was out watching it. Of course I get thrilled locating satellites after the sun goes down.

To think we are able to do such things is just amazing. Yet I still get lint in my belly button. An uncontrollable force of nature yet to be conquered.
