Landing ground tracks show Endeavour speeding high over the Yucatan Peninsula and the Gulf of Mexico northwest of Cuba before crossing into Florida air space around Fort Myers and continuing northeast across Central Florida.
I wish I could see it.

Should have planned to land it in California, as that is where it’s going to end up anyway.

Loval forecast for Melbourne:
“Clear through midnight then becoming partly cloudy. Lows in the lower 70s. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph becoming east 5 to 10 mph late.”

I watch the NASA channel from time to time. You’re sitting there in Mission Control with all the folks...it’s great.
But of course this was all put in place before Bambi announced that the main mission of NASA was not space exploration but outreach to Muslims.

One of the advantages to living on the Left Coast is that I can stay up till a reasonable hour this evening and watch Endeavour’s final landing. Wheels stop well before midnight here...

If we can put a man on the moon then,

And if we can put a muslim on the moon then,
one day
we could put all of the muslims....

Well, since Islam is a moon-worship based cult, maybe they’d all be happy there. Nah, nothing except death and destruction makes a Muslim happy, so we don’t want them up on the moon trying to kill us from yet another vantage point...

There is no new space craft.
After the last shuttle flies, we are done.

Aw, I wish it had been too cloudy in FL and they could have landed here in CA. I always love it when the windows all rattle. I hope there will be a new whatever to replace these shuttles. I love space exploration. It’s one of the good things we do.

I love space exploration. It’s one of the good things we do. Manned exploration doesn't buy enough votes per dollar, so don't count on it. There is some hope for private manned spaceflight, though.

The ultimate irony. The most celebrated socialist workers paradise does not have half of its population as idle pets subsisting on "government" money.
They can still afford a Space Program.
