Is it possible for the skill to tell me the next time I can see the ISS and perhaps for some criteria of "good" tell me when the next good time will be (high relative brightness, high overhead, long sky transit time, etc)?

NASA already offers a few interfaces to their "Spot the Station" service. That would be a good place to begin research for something like this: https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/sightings/ If necessary queryable data is not to be found, then a work around might be to give Mycroft his own email address (a general core feature that I have long thought would be very valuable) and then subscribe to the visible pass notifications service and parse the emails as they come in for this awareness.
