Original Note:
NASA doesn’t get to just steer the ISS into the region of totality. The ISS is not a car. Additionally, ISS astronauts CAN see the moon's shadow but not the eclipse itself since their windows don't point toward the sun. They don’t point to the sun to avoid blinding them. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/a-history-of-total-solar-eclipses-seen-by-astronauts-from-outer-space-180983909/#:~:text=Now%2C%20astronauts%20who%20witness%20solar,to%20observe%20a%20solar%20eclipse. https://x.com/rainmaker1973/status/1777422546549321781?S=46
