I'm NOT Going Crazy!!
I woke up in the middle of the nite to something that sounded like two thunderbolts. Couldn't really distinguish whether it was a dream or what...
Now, it all makes sense.
Signaling its arrival with two thunderous sonic booms, Discovery hurtled out of a black desert sky to a smooth touchdown Tuesday. The 17,000-mph plunge from orbit took Discovery through a passage of the same kind of intense heating that exposed the mortal wound in Columbia's wing. The shuttle soared across the Pacific and over Southern California, passing just north of Los Angeles on its way to Edwards as it completed a journey that spanned 5.8 million miles and 219 orbits of Earth.
