KSC Shuttle Landing Facility Weather

[wastedyears]

Now I’ve got the Top Gun theme in my head and I feel like playing it.

[sazerac]

New Orleans is the best place to see the shuttle reenter. It’s really breathtaking.

FoxNews just said that they will be unable to land in FL due to weather.

No confirmation on Edwards AFB landing, but that is probable.

[TomGuy]

FoxNews announced landing at 11:40 at Edwards AFB (Eastern Time?).

[OBXWanderer]

Looking at Melbourne Radar they might just squeeze Atlantis into KSC, if those showers stay off the coast.

[OBXWanderer]

California, here they come

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Landing will be at Edwards.

[neodad]

Go for de-orbit!

Touchdown!! Welcome home!!

[MinuteGal]

I was on the edge of my chair watching the landing with a mixture of excitement, awe and pride (as opposed to hope, fear and change, LOL).

I just wished the cockpit camera hadn't come across the TV feed with fatal interference. I would have loved to see a split screen with the outside landing being shown concurrently with the view from the camera inside the plane's "windshield".

But I'm just thrilled to see such a beautiful event at all. Congratulations to the courageous and adept crew on this memorable Memorial Day weekend.
