I’m trying to decide if I should be annoyed or awed that NASA woke me up this frickin’ early in the morning.
Discovery‘s re-entry approach path to Edwards Air Force Base puts it directly over Los Angeles, so when a certain L.A. resident randomly wakes up early in the morning and is just about to fall back asleep, he might be woken back up with a start when his building rattles with the twin sonic booms as the shuttle returns from space. It took me a minute to actually figure out what it was, since I hadn’t heard that Discovery was coming to California, and there was that initial reaction of “earthquake?” before my brain processed the possibilities. I just kind of wish I’d been outside so I could’ve seen the shuttle myself.
