• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Shuttle Discovery flew over my house, and I had not heard a sonic boom in about 4 years. I thought a car hit my house(because I have heard that more recently), and I went running outside in a panic. But something weird, I live 75 miles away, and the decent goes directly over my house, and yet I heard the sonic boom 2 minutes after Nasa reported it landed. weird.
 
Its awesome how that all works. That thing is doing 15,000 MPH when it hits Atmo. Who knows how fast it was going when it was 75 miles out of threshold.


Cool that you got to hear it.
