I don't get it.

Landing changed to Friday.




I bet they change where the shuttle will land because it is supposed to be very icky weather thru- monday.

After all these years in the Sunshine State, I finally had the opportunity to see a launch from closer than Lakeland.

I had an on-site meeting with a client of ours on launch day and was able to watch from about a mile west of the VAB. Truly f'ing spectacular...

Word...

I thought the landing was scheduled for Friday from the beginning. It probably won't happen anyway, weather will send it to cali.

The landing ground tracks have been published. First chance will fly ENE south of CONUS and pretty much due east across FLA.

the next chance an hour later will bring it over southern Texas through Lousiana & Mississippi - so there are sighting opportunities for plenty of y'all.

I sent her around for another pattern....whilst be just a while longerB|

Heads up: Saturday (5/23/09), the first landing opportunity at Kennedy is at 9:16 a.m. EDT.



Think they just might land at Edwards. Again. Oh, maybe I'll just have to drive up and watch.... :)

Shuttle a go to land at Edwards this a.m. On Runway 22. Deorbit burn going down in about 20 minutes.

All of you on the Central Coast through Bakersfield (and those at Taft) will get the nice double boom and another hour or so.
