If the shuttle's landing is delayed by one orbit...

My wife called me this morning and said she saw it dropping our daughter off at school. They brought the whole school out ot see it. Had to laugh at the news this morning though. Fox had their cameras trained on the sky and they said everyone ran out to see it but missed it. They blamed it on a NASA radar glitch. Channel 6 had the contrail on video.

The shuttle dropped your daughter off at school?  Now that was a memorable morning!

Closer to 8, but hey.  Maybe you need to start at 4:25 instead of 4:20?

I missed it too, I was looking North & North West like they said, but I guess the shuttle was more to the east- I did hear the "boom" but not a double "boom"- oh well, I'll catch the next one.

It is highly unlikely at this point that there will be a next one. There are only what, 3 shuttle missions left, none of which are scheduled to do a descending node re-entry.

Sad for me, since I missed it.
