Ray. You better get up in the heavens and record its flight!

Let's hope they don't have their miles confused with meters...

Someone told me that the flyby will be delayed several weeks while they process as visa.

 

[ThunderChicken]

Delayed yes, but it will have to pull over and stop for a Department Of Transportation inspection and weigh in.

 

[Rayray]

Here it is...JO25...April 19

If you want to watch it in real time, go here. This telescope site is supposed to watch it come in (and hopefully go on by)

What time is this supposed to happen? I go to the link you posted and it says there is no information for this event.

 

[Rayray]

Hmm...here's what I get. Says 7 PM eastern time (USA). See the real time countdown? Circles at top right.
You got your cycle helmet handy?

 

[ThunderChicken]

Yup, got the helmet, full leathers, and cup.
