I do love the ISS views of Earth.
I've watched the ISS fly by a few times before when it is clear and is scheduled for a long pass at a high elevation above the horizon. Just a white dot flying by, but neat to think about people being up there. Kind of sad that they might decommission it by 2031 and crash it into the ocean:

Hopefully they will extend it further if possible. I don't know if the U.S., even by way of the private sector mostly, will have a station by then. I wouldn't think so. At least nothing like the ISS I wouldn't think.
Elon Musk gave a rather ambitious presentation a few days ago. He played this clip at it:
And here is the full presentation:
In other SpaceX news, the object that is supposed to hit the moon might not be from SpaceX after all:
