    you'll get NASA's predictions for ISS and Shuttle sightings for NYC.
    
    Question: With the shuttle due to land at 5:08 a.m. Tuesday, how is it 
    possible to  have a viewing in New York at 4:58, the same morning?
    
    My feelings are, that only if Discovery is waved-off on Orbit #217, would it 
    be visible from NYC . . . basically following along the ISS track, but 
    trailing it by about 5 minutes.
