• STS131 – Discovery

    I just watched Discovery fly over Gainesville.  It was very cool! It is a beautiful morning.  

    I had the laptop on Nasa.tv in the backyard and watched it cross the US.  Discovery crossed east of gainesville about 9 min’s ago and was going 3,600 miles per hour.  I saw Discovery in the East, just under the Sun, about 1 min after hearing the sonic boom. 

    I think this is the last scheduled Space Shuttle Mission.

    Here is a screen shot from nasa.tv
