Did anyone hear the sonic boom, about an hour ago? It was the shuttle passing overhead, wish it would have been clearer skies. I was out on the dock checking the crab traps when I heard it, nearly fell in the bayou!

Yes I was watching it on NASA TV and knew it was passing over us but figured I wouldn't be able to see it because of the clouds. It was quite loud and from the tracking on the monitor it looked like it was already over Central Florida when I heard it.

The younger son warned us way ahead of time so we went up on our rickety balcony to see. All my tired old eyes saw was the contrail, but the kid said (in his own words) that between the patchy clouds he could see the Shuttle "glinting in the sun." (He's kind of a space geek. ;-))

atlantis is next to fly in february
yep, i'm a space geek too
seen two launches - i always wanted to moon the world on national tv right in front of the big countdown clock, at less than 5 seconds cause they can't stop it or the tv coverage then, but never dared it
