re: 25th Anniversary of the Shuttle
I was out at Edwards with my twin brother for the landing. Quite an exciting event. 500,000 people camped out in the desert for 2 days waiting for it. I spent the night there, and out of all those people my older brother, who showed up at 2am, was able to find us in the middle of the night after looking for only 20 minutes. That was an amazing thing too. We spotted the shuttle when it was about 70,000 feet up before the sonic boom hit. My eyesight is not that good anymore.
