The sonic booms were pretty loud. I was talking to my mom on the phone.....she lives about 10 miles from the runway......I heard it through the phone and about 20 seconds later it made my windows rattle in Orlando.

Re: pic: Discovery welcome home

I live like 5-10 miles away. I had forgotten that it was comming back then and I was in line at Mcdonalds and I thought the guy behind me had run into the back of me twice when the sonic booms hit. Then i remembered that it was the shuttle...

Does anyone know exactly how/where the Orion or whatever its called will return to Earth? I believe that I saw that I would return similar to the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo missions with a capsule dropping into the Ocean, but I could be wrong.

I will really miss that Boom.

Most likely it will hit the water like Mercury/Gemini/Apollo. Originally it was supposed to land on land, but that system weighed too much, so they scrapped it. But they say if they find the weight, they'll put it back in.

I am very jealous. A shuttle launch is on my list to someday watch. A landing sounds pretty cool too.

Re: pic: Discovery welcome home

The shuttle's return is signaled by a very distinctive "Boom Boom" sound, but I'm wondering, Wendy, if when it flies over Winter Park its sound changes to "Oink, Oink, Boom, Boom?"
