the P3 for the HYTHIRM imagery has taken off, and in MExican airspace, putting block 16 in work:

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/NASA502

Not fot you guys to make you jealous but on 1st opportunity we will have a 90 deg fireball sighting. Thatīs why the P3 is around here!!

Dude, take some video of the reentry if you can.  If that one girl's iPhone picture of Endeavour's launch from a commercial jet can make the evening news, I'm sure SEVERAL of the regular media types on here would do the same with your re-entry video.

Not to mention the sheer hero-worship you'd get from all of us armchair astronauts :)

For the first rev, the dVtot for the deorbit burn would be 295.3 fps, duration of 2 mins, 38 secs.

For the approach to KSC 15, they would do a left overhead turn of 245 degrees.

a note for those using the google earth tracker, I changed the reload time to 5 seconds so that it doesnt freeze up, so try that if you have that problem

This is it folks. Endeavour now likely to be on her victory lap around the planet.

If she passes over where you are, take a moment to wave, salute or just spend a minute thinking about what she's achieved for humanity.
