Thats what it is all about folks.

SMG has put their money where their mouth is...lets see if Discovery stays dry for approach and the first part of post landing.

Quick question - any help on what time the sonic boom will be audible (if it is audible) on the West Coast of FL assuming KSC?

Is rain post-landing a concern?

deorbit burn underway

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #170 on:** 12/22/2006 08:48 pm »

Deorbit burn has started for 3mins 46 seconds! Safe trip home Discovery!

There is no opportunity for alteration at this point, correct? We're locked on for a KSC touchdown no matter what?

Ok, let's keep the chatter down now. Only the usual people should post updates now.

Good Burn!...

End of Deorbit burn. Good burn

Who said watching NASA TV all afternoon would be boring? Nothing quite like the tension of waiting to see if the Shuttle will launch or land!

Prayers for Discovery and her crew! Godspeed!

Have to admit, I was kind of hoping for White Sands. Oh well...

Sorry, missed Chris' earlier post. No more chatter from me!

A speed difference from a little over 200 mph compared to the overall speed of 18000 mph doesn't seem like a big impact?

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #178 on:** 12/22/2006 08:54 pm »

Good burn no trim required: 3 min 46 sec, Hp 17.8

Anyone know just what time I should look outside from Houston to try to see some of the entry?
