BOOM BOOM!! what was that?
Att: Florida TechIMO's

We are detaining your shuttle in So. California for violating local noise ordinances upon its re-entry from orbit. Please submit two dozen Krispy Kremes as payment to release the Orbiter back to you via piggy-back 747 or UPS.



That sonic boom was L-O-U-D.

I'm sure Outpatient and SoCalGal heard it also.
Someday I hope to see a launch.

Stupid question: Why two "BOOMs"?

Its because the shuttle is so LARGE---the 2 sonic cones that are generated are spread furthur apart so we hear it as 2 distinct sounds instead of 1 with a smaller aircraft...
