at its prime, this thing was orbiting the earth at 25x speed of sound. now it's retiring at the old age of 25 and it has to ride on something that can barely do 0.8x. it must be how old people feel like when they are stuck on a wheelchair.

They made a circle around Houston two days in a row and I just missed both of them, which is too bad as I had a good vantage point from my office building downtown. A couple of my co-workers showed me their iPhone photos and videos. I did get a glimpse when it was far in the distance heading westward on the day it departed Houston.
This is a great shot that you got.

I didn't know until the night before that it was going to fly over a city 2 hours south of me and it was too late for me to make plans to miss work and drive down. This is an amazing photo.
