It was one sonic boom this morning, but I was too far south to see it. ****!

NASA has a much larger choice in CA landings now, Edwards, Vandenberg, and now Mojave.

Fly SAFE!

When your close enough, you hear the double booms. Columbia was due to fly directly over my house in Florida on that infamous day. When I didn't hear the booms when they were supposed to be there, I immediately knew something was wrong, the shuttle can never be late once it's begun it's decent. I could tell on the reporters face when I went inside as the clock hit zero and no shuttle was in sight that he also knew a tragedy was occuring. The reporters words were "no shuttle has ever been late, this is not a good thing."

Thank god Discovery is home safe and sound, congrats to NASA and the crew.
