| ||||| Wednesday, March 13, 2002 - 10:17 am Congratulations to the shuttle team on its accomplishments! While we here on Earth may take the shuttle program for granted from time to time, please remember there are many of us who appreciate your efforts and courage. You should be very proud of yourselves! | |
| ||||| Wednesday, March 13, 2002 - 10:25 am We're glad that you are home safely. We have enjoyed following your mission. We just watched the landing and it was COOL! What a great way to teach and learn about space!! | |
| ||||| Wednesday, March 13, 2002 - 10:49 am Congratulations on the mission. We happened to be in Largo FL Mar. 12 at the time of the landing. Would there have been a "sonic boom" heard in the wake of the shuttle headed for a 4:40 AM landing? | |
| ||||| Wednesday, March 13, 2002 - 11:07 am I believe that is correct. | |
| ||||| Wednesday, March 13, 2002 - 04:56 pm The shuttle is the only aircraft known to emit a double sonic boom. Its large size causes the boom from the front and the back to be two distinct fronts. Although I have been to more than half a dozen launches, I have been to only one landing. That was STS-95 in 1997. It is quite spectacular to wait for the Shuttle to come in, and then hear the BOOM-BOOM! as she flies overhead (still not quite visible). She then makes a large circle, and then lands at the Shuttle Landing Facility. After that report, the landing is very quiet, especially compared to the launch. The Shuttle just glides to a stop in a very gentle manner. Of course if the Shuttle was at high altitude while over your location, the two booms may have sounded like one. | |
| ||||| Friday, March 15, 2002 - 06:25 am The expedition to Hubble was for me 12 days of non-sleep time, i watch all of it on G2-TR9 with my old 10' satellite dish. The signal was great, beside a few sunspots early afternoon when no action when't on. The TV's where hot. I love space, my mind is for science and new technology. I remember the trip to the moon, if my memory is 1976 or ... I watch the first image from Space and i was so exited to ear live voice on TV. Small step for men, large leap for all men kind. Communication have progressed so much since and so much more expensive. Nasa is my home when your up there. Tank's you so much for all your efforts to make this possible for us to follow these events, and to analysed the equipment and good men and woman at work. I'm not that great for writing stories but this one came out as an experience. Keep on the good work NASA. My regards Mike. | |
