Staying up late to watch. I never got to see (in person) a shuttle launch. Darn.
However, if it’s still there, I can definitely recommend the “Shuttle Launch Experience” ride at Cape Canaveral / Kennedy Space Center. It’ll flap your cheeks; those high and low. :-) :-)
Couple of minutes to de-orbit burn.
I hope there is some form of DVD set available about the history of the space shuttle, especially the launches, and of course about the two that we lost, God Rest their brave souls.
De-orbit burn commenced. No stopping now...Atlantis is coming home.
Here’s hoping we’ll return one day to The Black.
