    All:
    
    We had very nice weather at KSC this morning. The shuttle led ISS by  
    a bit more than two fists held at arm's length, or about 20 degrees  
    or so. As they passed max elevation, ISS was only slightly brighter  
    than Discovery but as they moved down toward the horizon, the station  
    really dominated. The track took the spacecraft just north of Mars on  
    a southwest to northeast trajectory. Just gorgeous.
