How totally cool was it to look out my office window in Memphis to see the space shuttle streaking southeast, then see just a few minutes later that it had landed safely in Florida. I guess if you’re supersonic you can fly from Memphis to Florida in less than five minutes. I think I’ll never stop being in awe of the courage and skill it takes to be an astronaut, even in these days of awesome technological achievements.

I never heard a sonic boom, though.

Did you? Did you see it? What did you think?
