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.”

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...

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.

One more flight and the US manned space program is history. Libs and conservatives will be delighted. Time to pass the torch to China.
