I took this from my cockpit coming back from a mission a few years back...I didn't get any invitation to go on 'Oprah'.

Nah, the photo of the horizon is mine*, and it's nothing special either - it's amazing what you can see if you look out the window when you're on a plane though. Instead of acting all nonchalant jetsetter and reading OK! or Carp Fishing Weekly (not you personally), we've only been doing it a hundred years or so, it's still OK to be fairly impressed (with air travel).

 

 

 

* It was a 'cockpit' too, as it was a pit of sorts and I was surreptitiously fiddling with my cock underneath.

I've got my 80 odd year old step father out at all hours watching it now.

 

He's a very clever man, but he still waves sometimes too :D

Reet, I didn't know what I was looking for but, looking in the directions given. I noticed a pinprick of light - too small (and it was too light still for all but the brightest/closest) to be a star, then it disappeared, then it flashed up again for a split second - further across, then disappeared again...Then that was it, my eyes started playing up with floaters then, and some lads thought I was eavesdropping, so I've come back.

 

So, from my description was I seeing owt - or just a star? I'll wave next time if it was the ISS.
