I have heard it isn't quite as useful as that...
I like to read Bob Park's opinions about manned space flight (and other science-related things) at http://www.bobpark.org

Big enough to be seen during the recent partial eclipse. That's it at 11.00 o clock...a long way from home.

Here is a link to a schedule if you would like to watch the ISS fly over in the evening (or AM if you are an early riser).

It's one of those things that is useful simply for existing; it says "we can get into space, even if only just and only to a pathetic low orbit". Kind of thing that might be useful when some alien visits to see if we count as sentient.

Yeah. .but as we've already seen, their ships are so huge that The ISS will just smash into it. . .
