I just saw the space station for the first time ever. It was a beautiful 315(NW) to 135 (SE) degree pass at 01:32UTC and was easily visible as the one of the brightest lights in the sky to the naked eye. This, even in the light polluted sky of Los Angeles. I thought it was quite cool (although my g/f didn't share in my enthusiasm) and am going to have to find a telescope of binoculars for the next one.
