>Whoa. Now here's a question I've never considered: which way is the ISS going and/or facing? Is there a "front," or is that determined by the direction of travel?

The star trails move due to the ISS pitch axis which makes one rotation every orbit. If you look left or right of your trajectory, stars go in circles; look forwards and stars go in straight lines.

More than likely, as,physically, you’d be the only one inside your head to envision it thusly? Was it premonitory to an encounter that led to romance or something in there?
