saw that debris too, it was may-be a minute or two after SBR seperation. Though I 'm not so sure.

The creepy robot doesn't really count. But launching only two seconds to the end of the launch window... cutting it a wee bit fine there.

Does anyone know if she'll be visible from the UK?

I saw it too. They were very high when the debris came off so maybe it was not affected too much by the air and accelerated by drag. It did look to come off fast though.

Go to Heavens Above website, and input your exact location.

Not this time. Too dark from here now.

Congratulations to Discovery
