I just watched it. I was not so amazed. I know what it is up there and that it is quite amazing but the shiny spec cascading across the sky just didn't do it for me. I also heard nothing.
Nevertheless, I waved in Russian, I think they waved back.
That was sort of my point why some kids and adults can't get enough and most if they see it once is enough. I suppose in time I will too but I will never tire of looking at the stars; greatest show on earth IMHO.
