Last weekend I was also out chasing the Space Station, trying to stand in the right place so that we can get pictures of this large object making a shadow against the surface of the sun. But this time I wanted to take advantage of the strict time and space restrictions to try and measure the altitude of the space station and it's speed.

After all there are some 'skeptical' individuals who don't trust what NASA tells them, and I'm prepared to test their ideas out of respect for their beliefs. /s
