[FPSPACE] ISS brightness in night sky overestimated

[DEMPSEY, ROBERT C. (JSC-DF25)]

Note sure where Yahoo got their info - the NASA press releases state that at
assembly complete ISS will be the 3rd brightest.  I have never heard it
stated to be brighter or as bright as Venus.

It will not even be as bright as Venus, at least in its
current configuration:
