Shuttle return
 
Don't know which way the shuttle comes in but can you see or hear it in TV? Radio said it was returning at 10:17 or:37 tomorrow.

I've never seen it, but have heard the sonic boom when it re-enters. I think you only hear it here when it follows a certain path.

My best advice to you on this situation would be to first of all be outside before the designated re-entry time.:icon_wink: Then probably you should look UP:thumbup: That being said Becky, I don't have a clue, I couldn't see it go up. Are you sure it's up there and coming down??:shrug:

Please excuse me, I'm late for today's "beer summit"

The majority of reentry paths come in from the south, in which case, you won't hear or see anything. The reentry path sometimes comes in from the north west, in which case, it will fly close enough over The VIllages where you will hear the double sonic boom. Best chance is to "google" the shuttle reentry path a few hours before the scheduled reentry to verify the time and you will probably also find a diagram showing the path. You might find the information at the NASA site also... www.nasa.gov
