Just saw the ISS fly by. That thing is moving so fast it's incredible. I tracked it over the Pacific ocean a few minutes past 6pm and it passed through Texas within about 5 minutes after that

Me too! So bright.

Immediately following that look into the north, the Chinese space station was very visible as well
