Do Tears Fall In Space? [VIDEOS]
When we were kids, we never got to learn about space from a man actually in space. In today's day and age, kids can!

We hear a lot about the International Space Station, I've always wondered what the view must be like from up there. In my never-ending search for interesting things to post on our website, I found this video of earth taken from the International Space Station. It is amazing, take a look after the jump.
Tonight you get not one, but two chances to see the International Space Station orbit overhead. The best time to watch the skies tonight is about 9:20pm. Look in the lower portion of the west-northwest sky. It should appear there about 9:22. It will be at it's highest peak in the north-northwest at 9:26pm, then move lower and fade about 9:29. The space station will look like a very bright dot, slowly moving across the sky, much brighter than than any of the stars.
As a kid I was never that fascinated by outer space, I became very interested in the concept when NASA began the shuttle program. As a tribute to the retired program, 2,000 NASA workers got together to form a human shuttle; it took more than an hour to get all the workers in place. You can watch the whole thing in less than two minutes, after the jump.
If the clouds stay away (the forecast says they will), you'll have an opportunity to view the International Space Station.
