There are now two manned space stations passing over Puna on a regular basis, the US & Russia operated International Space Station, and China’s Tianhe-1. China launched three astronauts today to man their new space station. It passes over Hawaii about three times a day, I’ll post when it’s visible. Unfortunately, over the next week the times are often 3 or 4 AM, or during the day. BTW, the large Chinese rocket that re-entered earth’s atmosphere uncontrolled several weeks ago was the booster that launched the large core module of their space station into orbit.
Here’s today’s manned launch, at the 3:23:00 mark:
