I still haven't played Colonial Marines, even after all these years of it being sat in the bargain bin. The pain of the negative reviews still haunts my dreams
It boggles my mind sometimes, to think about what another human being is doing right at the very same moment that I am thinking about them. What is Brad Pitt doing right now? He exists, he's a real conscious person and right now he is quantifiably doing something. While I'm staring off into nothing, is he experiencing the most stressful day of his life? The happiest? Is it pretty mundane? In any case, I find it amazing to consider that there's a full and complete consciousness, like my own, experiencing whatever it is he's experiencing right now.
Anyway, my point is that it's strawberry floating mental that there are two members of our species hurtling through space at 2000mph right now.

As always though, i shall look out the window and see precisely nothing (as i did when looking for the comet a week or so ago).
It's going to be very low in the sky so I think you're only going to se it if you're out in a big field. 10 mins before is an ISS pass which you should see no problem, just look above stool bloke's gnome.

I love how it looks almost try hard futuristic, but the aesthetic of space equipment we're used to is based on stuff that's 40 years old.
Yeah, if I saw the cast of a sci-fi wearing that get up I would roll my eyes at how unrealistic it looked but I suppose we have this vision of astronauts kind of trapped in amber from days before I was even born.

I went out and saw the same. Sadly I was confused about the timings and told my 6 year old it was the Dragon. I now either tell him the truth and destroy his best memory to date, or I have to lie to him for the rest of his life.
Captain Picard never had to deal with this gooseberry fool!
