Space Station Fly Over!

Georgia Tech has three grads on the Shuttle Endeavor and the International Space Station who will make an appearance at tonight's game. Col. Eric Boe and Lt. Col. Robert "Shane" Kimbrough both grew up in the Atlanta area and have Master's degrees from Tech. Also on board will be Sandra Magnus, who received a Doctorate from Tech.

First the station and shuttle will come over Atlanta at about 6:10 pm. You can see it as a fast moving star from the southwest sky and exiting to the northeast, assuming the sky is clear. Then later the station will establish a link with Tech and will show a live feed on the jumbotron during tonight’s game!

You have to admit this is pretty sweet and something that can't be claimed by many schools.
