    I sincerely doubt any fireworks would be visible from the space station as it is 100's miles from the nearest fireworks.

    No wilde we are not guessing.

    If you watch fireworks at a show 10 miles away you can barely see them without binoculars so using the inverse square rule they will be invisible from 100 miles let alone 300

    No, its hard for us to see fireworks 50kms away. Space station is 350km from earth, We'd need to lit a nuclear firework to celebrate 4th July in Space.

    People who answered no are just making a guess. The only way to be sure is to ask the astronauts themselves.

    From space, you can see things much clearer than from the same distance on the ground.
