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

Not really. How do you blast a virus into space when space doesn’t exist?

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

It's weird as it looked to be travelling across the sky just like a plane, great to watch and blimey was it traveling at speed. Watching from just outside Skipton.

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?
