BTW, at the press conference it was obvious that the NASA guys thought they were talking about the observatory in Hawaii, but the Owens Valley is just over to the east side of Sierra. I think that's the Long Tom area and we feel their earthquakes here at my home sometimes.

Actually, it's called Tom's Place, near Long Valley, just north of Bishop (270 miles north of Los Angeles, not 225 as the article states). My father-in-law works at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory with this Beasley guy. I'm going to try and find out more.

It'll be interesting to see what comes out of this. I was listening to the press conference on the radio and said the first sensor problems started at 5:53, well that was when I was watching it over California. And then when they mentioned Owens Valley - that is just east of me so he was watching the shuttle when the sensors were showing problems. I wonder if he was videotaping it?
