At night, no one can hear you scream.
No one can film it either. I suspect we've seen the last daylight landing.

What they should have done with the trash, is dump it off in space and let it burn up in space...

Interesting. I would like to point out that not all people live in the same time zone. There are, I believe, 26 different zones around the world. Could we please all either note the time zone or follow established UTC time calls.
Now, that said, I PRESUME that the 4AM time mentioned is EDST???
Sorry for the mini rant but getting up 2 hours too early or 2 hours too late in the middle of the night can cause even crankier posts!

I was working 12 hr nights the last shuttle landing. I was "watching" the landing here on FR.I am on nights again for this landing.
I hope this one is routine.

Will this be at all visible?
To: scottinoc
Toilet deactivation at 3:08, man that's rough! I hope they've already stopped beverage service.
Any way for the last hour and a half before landing they
can't get out of their seats or a sky marshall will take
them down.

Yes, they are using EDT, the time zone of Cape Canaveral and the New York offices of the MSM.
