• Can someone tell me what that sireny sound is that is heard after the shuttle lands?  It sounds like it is coming from the orbiter, but I'm not sure.

  Shuttle is the most majestic thing that ever graced the skies. I get all excited every time I see her returning. There has never been anything her and no matter what they ever do in the future I cannot imagine anything else that will ever affect me the wat Shuttle does. She is beyond beautiful.
