Heavens-above.com is great, it'll give you 10-day outlooks, let you record your sightings, and can help you catch iridium flares.Watching the ISS fly over is a great show, dead silent, but the fastest, brightest thing in the sky. It comes by more often then you might think, all you need to do it keep checking Heavens-Above.Be sure to join, so you can store your location. Otherwise, the website will go back to 0-0
They'll make it an orbiting museum, where people will marvel at the quaint old tech that Earth once paid $100 billion for.No one will expect it to see active duty again...but the Cylon attack will change all that.
I don't live in a country with a space program, but thanks for doing what you do. The ISS is the best thing humans are doing right now. LHC is kind of cool but not space cool.

Aside from the sun and moon, it's basically the brightest object I've ever seen in the night sky.
