The booms happened while I was at church yesterday and it sounded like something large hit the roof twice. The pastor stopped his sermon, said “the boys are back” and continued on. He was a lot calmer than I was!
The footage on NASA TV has been riveting...especially the work on Hubble. Got tickled when one of the spacewalkers gave a wrong movement command to the boom operator and then got pissed when they moved him the wrong way.
NONE of the networks covered, for the first time I can remember. Even the non-cable ABC and Fox outlet have broken into programming to cover the landing in the past. Now, with this administration in place, they don't. It also seemed to me NASA more eager than ever to not have the expense of landing at Edwards, then transporting back to Florida. It was obvious on Sat. they would have to land here or stay up in space longer than fuel would last, yet they pushed back to Sunday.
now theres a photo op!!
