Oops… this is happening in just a few minutes…

Prepare for a double sonic boom.

Overcast skies in “The Sunshine State” have forced the Space Shuttle Atlantis to opt for a landing window here in California at Edwards Airforce Base. The earliest scheduled window for the touchdown is 3:49 p.m. ~~PST~~.

If poor weather conditions strike, the Shuttle could again postpone its landing until tomorrow at Edwards or at White Sands in New Mexico.

If you’re thinking of hopping into your car to see how close you can get to watch the landing, check out the comments in yesterday’s post ^[1] for tips on a better experience.
