SB,
Generally speaking, 114 will track over the Pacific, Central America, the Gulf of Mexico, and then finally Florida. At least for now, NASA wants to keep Discovery over as little populated area as possible to mitigate the risk to the general public should another reentry accident occur. Perhaps sometime down the road, NASA will lighten up on their flight rules, and we'll see a reentry that is widely visible over parts of the U.S. But for now, you're going to need to be on a boat : ) -Craig |

Unfortunately, the TV schedule at: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/114_schedule.html seems to suggest that this footage won't be aired live (and it may well be as shakey and blurry as the WB-57 ascent footage). -- Regards, Bob Niland http://www.access-one.com/rjn email4rjn AT yahoo DOT com NOT speaking for any employer, client or Internet Service Provider. |
