Here is rubbing your noses in it.

Saw it all from the comfort of my office(with 10 other people). Saw it before the on the HAC call. It was only out of sight (over my building) for a short while. Flew directly over my building just after 90 HAC call

That's nothing, we all saw all of the re-entry over the internet on NASA TV and....oh yeah, I see your point

Actually been to three landings at Edwards and it truly is something to see that shuttle sail right above your head in elegant silence (though those sonic booms do reverberate for a while...)

Forget that white suit and gas mask.. Just run on out...

PERFECT. Don't have anything else to add

Wheels stop!

Is that snoring I finally hear from Chris's desk?

:laugh:

No sleep yet. All moves to STS-122 now. We've got a backlog of articles from L2 surge and there's rollout on Saturday!

Elegant as always. We will miss the shuttle not just for its beauty but its capabilities when we will again fishing astronauts out of the ocean sometime in the second half of the next decade.

Indeed! This flying machine will remain unequalled for a very long time!

Because of the landing direction, there seems to be no cameras that provide a close up view of the shuttle other then nose inward or from a long distance from the rear right. Would like to see the action much closer especially when the crew comes out.

Didn't the Beastie Boys do a song called "No ... sleep... for Bergin!"

I miss the sound from the RWY mics. Hope PAO brings them online again. And comms in general. My RealPlayer is quiet!

Forgot to add. NASA TV was on one monitor and NASAspaceflight.com was on the other one.

Thats what I thought but my 120 Entry checklist skips from 4-10 to 5-19. Am I looking at the wrong thing?

Looks like all three main engine nozzles are gimbaled to their outermost positions.

Edit: Maybe not, hard to tell...

That is if they do
