I always try to look out for the SS when I can, but have never seen it.what should I be looking for? How big and bright is it as seen from SW England?

[wendilla]

If comes exactly the time I state . Just look for a bright object similar to Venus gliding across the sky . It does not blink .

Thanks Wendilla. It's especially special as there is a 'Briddish' passenger now :-)
Let's hope for a few clear skies in the HSF calendar.
BTW, if you have any space hardware technically related questions, I have a friend who works for NASA, based in Huntsville Al.

Thanks answerprancer I am not technically minded . I just read about this about 8 to 9 years ago and started to read about it then I posted on here and found that many people did not know they could see it when over our way .and I carried on from there remimding people when to look .
