I looked for the Shuttle on it's second pass but nothing at the predicted
time of 06:35 UTC using these elsets:

STS-111
1 27440U 02028A   02156.91862236  .00076339  12088-4  10182-4 0     11
2 27440  51.6313 109.9909 0060903 343.2854 196.0835 16.28970136    07

so i waited and 7 min later it appeared, quite bright, mag -4 and fast. I
was even able to track it with my 10x50s after it went into shadow as they
left the lights on in the bay. If i had waited the 7 minutes after the first
pass i would have caught it then as well.
