Patrick, I would love to repeat the visibility test Ann House and I performed a couple of years ago. If you or anyone else is ever up for a line-of-sight, long-distance laser "event", let me know and we can organize one. I mentioned to Seth off-line that I would like to try an experiment with NASA's blessing, of trying to see if the crew of either the ISS or shuttle could spot several of us targeting them with our lasers from the ground, as they passed over northern Utah. At orbital distances, there would be absolutely no danger to the eyesight of any astronauts. Want to pitch the idea to NASA?

Darn. I wish I had seen your message before leaving for the This Is the Place star party. I would have called you and had you shine it up our way.
