And I wake up for the last shuttle wake up.

here in the mid-atlantic, the last visible pass of the ISS was july 5th... and the next visible pass will be july 23rd. never got to see atlantis dancing overhead, not even once. there were such great passes for STS-133 and STS-134, both together with the ISS and chasing each other across the sky after separation and before landing, i'd just assumed... but no. i can't believe this is it.

Now i wish i could fly somewhere they will pass over just to see them both race across the sky one more time.

If I were you, I'd look at the ISS all passes list on Heavens above and see if there's one just after sunrise in your area tomorrow morning. You might be able to catch that one even though the math says it won't be "visible". If you know where to look and when, you might see both of them.

a worthy idea for others to try, but i'd already gone there -- they passed overhead a little before 4 this afternoon, and the ISS next appears about 45 minutes after sunrise/atlantis's landing tomorrow morning.
