Ok, well, I'm lucky enough to be able to live in the area where the shuttle passes, literally, directly over my house, and, also, transitions to subsonic speeds. Of course, when I went to bed last night, I had read it was landing at KSC, so the booms last night were an unexpected surprise that served as the perfect alarm clock (they went off 5 min before my clock does). The booms literally made my house shake, and all the car alarms around us went off, and so on. My dad thought it was a terrorist attack, luckily I realized it was the shuttle. Ran downstairs and turned on NASA-TV just in time to watch the final approach.


What an awesome start to my day!

PS: Kind of a geeky thing, but when it woke me up and I realized what they were...I said "Welcome home, Discovery" out loud
