Heard the Sonic booms loud and clear this morning. With this mission complete, there's only one flight left for each of the three orbiters.
From the NASA website:

I'm going to attend either a launch or landing of one of the last three missions. The shuttle is likely something we'll never see again (at least for many years).
Should there be a video in your post above?
I live in Central Florida and my plan is to go over there for the last three launches and landings. I hope no scheduling conflicts arise!
It will be years before a ship like this flies again and when that happens it probably will be developed and owned by a private company or a corporation.
The video does not show up for me. I see a large blank space.
Matthew — It must be a localized problem for me in Firefox. I am able to view it in Chrome. I'll have to look into it further to ensure I don't have a bigger problem affecting all embedded videos.
Thanks for posting this to Dicks Cafe.
I can see it by the way, great landingThis post/video would be welcome in my group Science In An Eclectic Universe!
