    Checking
    <http://www.shuttle.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/SSapplications/Post/JavaSSO
    P/JavaSSOP.html> for lat 23 deg, lng 83.25, shows it passing about 31 miles
    overhead or 164,000 feet, or 50km. The landing has been canceled for that
    orbit. Hopefully it will land on orbit 201 at KSC. It will then pass
    directly overhead of me in the Tampa, FL area. It generally crosses the Fla
    coast at 100,000 feet and mach 10. I've seen two landings although the sky
    may be to bright to easily see it. It's a fast white dot with wings and
    tail visible with binoculars.
