2. Will you be able to see it?

Cool! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

3. Everything's all right so far ...

13 minutes to landing...
Doubt I'll be able to see it...
It's a little north of where I am...

7. I used to live in Ventura County

I've heard that telltale bomb-bomb more than once, when the shuttle would come in for a landing at Edwards. I never saw it, though, the landings were always in daylight hours.

9. I was half in dream land and half in my bed

when I heard the sonic boom. It freaked me out and I woke up my husband and I looked out the window. We both went back to sleep. Then this morning on the way to work, we found out that the shuttle landed in CA, and it must have been the boom I heard. So glad it made it home safely.
