Okay, so in this case the Major is a computer, and ground control is a private suite, but this is still cool.

If you are so inclined to wake up EARLY or stay up late, you can see the ISS fly by.

If you go to the ISS section on the NASA page and root around for the 'sightings' section, it will give you the times, directions and where to look for it.

It's very cool to see - the ISS is a very bright object that you cannot miss!
