This is so cool! But I noticed that it never passes above europe... Or am I wrong?

I noticed that. The station seems to follow the same basic orbit around Earth with minor fluctuations in latitude with each pass.

I'm no rocket scientist but I think it's orbit is set so that it passes over Cape Canaveral in Florida as much as possible.

I'm not sure where you are exactly but I hope you keep trying. It's a very inspiring sight!
