I think the flames we’re seeing are the auxiliary power units.

Say what you will about the shuttle program, I’d damn sure prefer to land in a PLANE than in a capsule in the middle of nowhere.

Just awesome.

I’d never noticed the flame-like stuff coming from the tail before...and I’ve watched many a night landing.

Huge sonic booms at my house.....totally caught me off guard as I’ve been working 18 hour days this week and didn’t know Endeavor was landing tonight. My house rocked and raddled and I jumped out of my skin. I’ve heard enough of them that I knew that it had to be the shuttle, but immediately logged on here to make sure. I’m glad they had another safe landing.

That's just because you don't have "Pyro" in your screen name.

PyroNurse would be a scary thing. Better to remain a NautiNurse.

Ah- the SS in ISS stands for Space Station, not Space Shuttle. Thanks.
