    Has this happened before?  I mean the 3-day trip to the ISS.  I seem 
    to recall 2-day trips.  Both interfax.ru and spaceflightnow.com, both 
    linked at news.google.com under the search "PROGRESS M1-10", report 
    this schedule.
    
    As Thomas Fly noted, favorable passes of ISS are now occurring at 
    mid-northern latitudes.  The Progress cargo tugs are a few magnitudes 
    fainter than ISS, and, on approach, appear to trail the slower, higher 
    ISS. 
    
    Cheers.

    This is a world we don't want to enter:
            Islamic governments: 2 down, 55 to go.
    Some doubt that most Muslims quite understand that it is _their_ choice
    either to enter or to avoid that world.
