On October 24th, I always post a tribute video in honour of my step grandfather Gordon Mitchell. This year, I had plans for something really special. On the eve of the fourteenth anniversary of Gordon's passing, all spacecrafts were scheduled to fly over my house within minutes of each other - ESA's Envisat, North Korea's satellite, and the International Space Station. The Envisat was also scheduled to make a second flyover about 1.5 hours later. As Gordon was as fascinated with astronomy and space exploration as I, it seemed appropriate to record videos of the transits in his honour. Unfortunately, that didn't go quite so as planned due to the weather. So I had to make do with an equally spectacular ISS transit that I recorded three years ago on July 8th 2015. RIP Gordon R. Mitchell
