One More Shuttle

Thanks to crummy weather in Florida, I got to see the space shuttle land [1] one last time before I leave California. I even got to take the kids and my wife with me. I remember when I first got here the shuttle was landing at a fairly regular interval. I was working on a computer one time and heard the double boom and thought “Ah, its only the space shuttle.” and went back to work. I watched it glide in to make a landing and told the kids that it had been in space 15 minutes ago and was docked with the space station the other day

I’m going to miss Edwards AFB. I have seen some great things here. Space shuttles, stealth bombers, filming Armageddon, Race to Space and a Mariah Carey video. It has been a great place to live and work.
