oh...they held up the planes there? wow.

Yeah...I can imagine it’d be quiet. Remember how eerie it was after 9/11, no planes flying anywhere for days and days?

They always wait. When they reach a pre-determined point that the Shuttle is ‘safe’, then they approach and connect up the trucks and crew transport.

We were all outside, it shook the ground and our home. Very nice.

I was standing around outside watching my sprinklers and I thought I heard two explosions, then I realized what time it was. Those were nice deep booms, almost like something you would hear at a fireworks show.

I can't say for a fact that they did...but for the time I was out looking, AND sitting here....I saw no commercial jets until she landed. A couple of small ones, but not the big birds.

Nah, the only way to get rid of space cooties is an e-meter.

that would make sense though...they likely shut down all major aircraft in the area for a duration...

They can run. But they can’t hide.

Yep, they took roll call before leaving the space station, got everyone on board!
