    Not that it matters much for spotting bright objects like STS
    or ISS, but "copyers-and-pasters" should note that the elements
    given at the above sight are PREDICTED elements, based on the
    current time line of maneuvers, etc., and not real, current,
    derived-from-observation elements.
    
    Hopefully, this "TLE drought" will be over soon!
