Sonic BBBBBOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!

Aug 09, 2005 13:03

Like most of the people around where I live, we woke up to a rude awakening. Early this morning, I happened to be awake in bed when I heard the loudest boom ever. It sounded like an explosion, but I thought it could have been a sonic boom; with all the test planes that fly around here. On my way to work this morning, I noticed a few news vans outside the gate of Edwards AFB, and I thought to myself, "Oh cool, the shuttle is going to land here!" So, I get to my office and open up my e-mail looking for a notice of the time the shuttle is going to land. So I read the letter, and it turns out that I missed it by 2 and 1/2 hours! In fact, the notice was sent out after I left work yesterday afternoon. I was really disappointed. It's not often one gets to see a space shuttle land; or land at their work for that matter.
Also, as it turned out, that really large explosion this morning was the sonic boom of the shuttle as it made its approach.

In other news, tommorow, I'll find out if I get promoted to Staff Sargeant. What sucks is that the names will be announced during our morning workout. I was so hoping that exercise was going to get cancelled for the Staff results. Wish me luck!
