I saw on the space weather.com site that there was a "coronal mass
ejection"? or a solar flare that would be effecting the aerth ont or about
the 14 of July. So I might have to rent a car and drive outta town to see
them. Probably get attacked by a Moose :) I really half expected that
Russian rocket to go up in smoke and kill the space station for good I was
glad to see it has made it this far. I read somewhere in the paper that
they had a crew on emergency stand bye to go up and guide it manually if
need be.

ther anything I should look at up there, I believe that the sun will be up a
good part of the time. Does anyone know if it gets real dark at night or
just twilight at this time of year.
