Satellite Watchers


Even in the city, you can see them moving across the sky... school-bus sized, Mylar-plated satellites moving so quick you only have a few minutes to make them out.  Wired as an amazing article today about Ted Molczan, and his unusual hobby of watching and tracking satellites with nothing more than a notepad, binoculars, and a stopwatch.  If nothing else, just check out the first paragraph - crazy.
