I was just reading an article that say the space station will be brighter than Venus after they add the new section and solar panels.

That's going to make for some great passes and images for sure.

Probably a few more UFO sightings as well.

Cheers

Thanks for the heads up... I saw your post this morning so went onto the NASA page to check times again and there was some confusion. The mission page was saying it was brought forward to 2:40pm EDT March 11 which meant it would've already launched so I checked on NASA TV and all other NASA pages still showed it as 9:20pm...
