I don't believe this one is scheduled to land at Edwards - they only use Edwards as a backup.

There hasn't been a landing at Edwards since STS-128 (Discovery) on September 11, 2009.

Damn. So I only have to go as far as Orlando? Hummmmm.......

The trip is at its end. I am at the airport for my flight home. I feel for whoever sits next to me. I smell like Jurassic park water that's been soaked in and baked in the sun for hours.

Don't get me wrong: I would love to see you.

Maybe you can use the excuse of coming out "just in case" they land at Edwards.

And, if not, we can ride Soarin' and pretend.

They should update it with the shuttle instead of the jets. They already have jets in the next clip.

Yay - I got to see the Moonliner again!

Not So Yay - I had only a few very quick hours to spend.

And yes, we were both thoroughly baptized in the Jurassic Park waters!

Since it worked before:

Hurry back!

I've been trying to get a glimpse of the shuttle in orbit since the launch but the weather here has not been cooperating. Until today. Yea! I have a chance at 6:57pm to see both it and the International Space Station.
