NASA on HDNet - LIVE!

Nice smooth landing at sunset after a day of weather uncertainty. Welcome home!

I got to watch the Discovery deorbit and landing this afternoon, as much of a thrill as the launch. The landing track path was just north of Houston (on the way to Florida) and the NASA announcer had said we might be able to hear the twin sonic booms, and I am pretty sure I heard them right at 4:20 p.m. (CST), two quick light thunders (absolutely clear sky). I live in the southwest Houston area.

Also interesting in that I watch the 'live' broadcast on the NASA channel (DISH 213) on my TV2 and also the (12 second delayed) HDNET broadcast on TV1. I agree that the HDNET announcer talks too much. And you get to see a lot more of the deorbit and landing progress on the NASA channel. Good stuff all around, proud to be an American!
