Lots of people are asking about timings for tonight's spacecraft sightings. For the UK:
@Space_Station, 21:20 (look west, right of the moon)
@SpaceX launch, 21:33 then about 21:50, it will be following the same path as the ISS over the UK.
No point going outside to look, the launch has been called off due to weather.
Cancelled until Saturday :-)
I thought the ISS pass was 10:56 PM tonight over the UK?

Apparently it did past over at 9.20pm but it was too light. I never saw it. Will have a look out a 10.56pmOriginally Posted by oscar
just watched the iss pass over. Was shifting abit, whats the hurry
There was a time when they took off in bad weather such as ice rain and thunder clouds, the execs have been overuled now as the new trainees and funeral costs have risen !
Three hours laid there waiting - and then zilch!!!
Florida weather is over rated, it rains almost every day mid afternoon. They should schedule a launch window for earlier in the day.
Not a fan of the new space suits. Cant imagine kids seeing those and saying they want to be an astronaut when they grow up. Imagine that classic moon shot of Niel Armstrong in this modern suit.
Pity the launch didn't happen -- would have been nice to see if the SpaceX was chasing the ISS as the shuttle did a few years ago with 2 dots going over.
Sometimes you can just see the supply vehicle chasing the ISS as a very dim dot.
Maybe Saturday but it will be earlier so not so dark.
sunset about 21.30, iss due to fly over 22:10:45 to 22:15:19 on Saturday.
Tomorrow is a good time to see it @ 22.59
Still at the mercy of the Gods though.

It is the first mating of the 'Musk' and the ISS - no wonder they are being extra cautious.
A major failure would probably bankrupt the whole firm.
Nice bright pass at 22:06 this evening -- it only just missed the moon !!
22:09 here
looking good for a launch t-minus 15 mins
Brilliant launch -- I've put the kettle on in case they abort over Shannon .
At the speed they are going they would be in my back garden in seconds !
It will dock at 16:30 CET (15:30 BST) today. Unfortunately it won't be visible over Europe in daylight.
The public servers the tracking pages were using last night got overloaded and froze or gave unobtainable particularly when it passed over the U.S.
I'm watching on youtube just now - it's not far from Docking from the ISS - 585 meters away.
