Shenzhou 7 mission new
      #2661900 - 09/25/08 03:05 AM

Shenzhou 7 will be launched 8 hours after. The launch will be broadcast through CCTV's official website.

Where are the stars now? Where would I have to go in order to see them?

I walk forth into this fractured world, yet my thoughts were forever of the sky.

Checking http://www.heavensat.ru/english/
I was able to figure out that the Chinese spacecraft was visible from Belgium, passing under the planet Jupiter at about the time that the ISS passed over Belgium last evening, followed by the ATV 10 minutes later!
