When Galileo does it's Earth fly-by on 8 December, will the Shuttle be able to see it? I'm assuming the Shuttle will be up on that day, but if it isn't, don't flame me, OK? Thanx! (-: By the way, I am actually Chris Bovitz. I'm using my bro's account to post this thing. If anyone out there know how I can post w/o Pnews, let me know. I am moonunit@meteor.wisc.edu. Thanx!

About 30 minutes ago, the science planners were asked that if it were
possible, they would like the shuttle to be in a certain attitude so
the astronauts would be able to try to look for Galileo with
binoculars. They did see the Soviet flight the other day.
