ISS & Discovery pass overhead

I was watching the Discovery and ISS just after seperation on NASA TV with a friend and then noticed that their orbit (20minutes later) would bring them close enough to be visible in twilight from Melbourne. We went outside and saw them both (we could fool ourselves we could just make out two dots in the binoculars). Way cool.
