Good evening gang. If you have clear skies outside your house early Tuesday morning around 7am (give or take a little)… take a little look up into the sky and catch a glimpse of the Space Shuttle Discovery on it’s way back home to Florida.<\/p>\n

The first attempt at landing Discovery is expected to take a track that looks like this…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That would basically take it right across the heart of central Kentucky as it moves in from the northwestern sky. Two Sonic booms (from the nose and tail of the shuttle)\u00a0 accompany these deorbit burns as the shuttle enters the earth’s atmosphere.\u00a0That is something that would be neat to hear!<\/p>\n

Here is the latest from Nasa on the trip back home from this 15 day mission…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\nHere is hoping the clouds hold off just long enough to\u00a0allow for\u00a0a good viewing. If you get some pics or some video… email them to me.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
