Excellent! Some time ago I told my neighbors about a pass that it was going to be possible to see in Costa Rica on that clear afternoon, many had no idea what it was about.

A brief explanation beforehand and then the show in all its splendor, then many responded gratefully because their children, mainly, were able to see the ISS in amazement

We’re at YogurtLand in Jurupa Valley, CA. It’s 5 minutes before a 8:21PM Pacific time phenomenal visible pass of the International Space Station: 78 degrees’ elevation …

And it’s my birthday.

It is cool enough outside so that families were seated at tables with their desserts. And I “hit” each table: “In five minutes, step over and watch the INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION streak across the sky!!!”

And they did. My wife and I had more than 20 folks - ALL “first-timers” for viewing the ISS! It was about as splendid an end to a birthday celebration I could imagine. We stayed and discussed STEM and space with parents and students.

And so it goes …
