Can’t imagine what’s going through their heads getting pumped up for doing something like this. Have to have nerves of steel.

We should be able to see it about 10.15 tonight. It will be in a south westerly direction just above the horizon below the left hand side of the moon if that helps

Does it keep orbiting until it catches the space station. By that I mean can we see it again on the next pass. If we can, does anyone know what time?
