5:11am this morning, in my apt in Santa Clarita at the NE edge of Los Angeles County
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM. I wake up panicking. The ENTIRE apt complex is rattling. It feels like an earthquake, but sounded as if a massive bomb was let off outside my window.
I had to get up at 5:30 anways. After realizing that it probably wasn't an earthquake, I thought something MUST have exploded, a huge building or a big rig with gasoline or something. It must have been something MASSIVE to make a sound that loud.
I get to work at 6:30 and look at the CNN headlines. The space shuttle entered the atmosphere at 5:11am this morning !!! 50 MILES !!! from my apt, going faster than the speed of sound, creating a massive sonic BOOM that could be earth to the south end of LA County over 100 miles away.
I was 50 miles from this shit and I thought for a second that maybe it was a nuclear bomb. I can't imagine what it sounded like in the city just under where the shuttle re-entered. I've always heard of the term "SONIC BOOM". Now I understand why they threw in the term "BOOOOOOM".
It was fucking nuts, man.

Thats cool. I always watch to see when the shuttle will be reentering and check to see if the path crosses near me. And I like to watch the ISS (International Space Station) pass over. Its even better when the Shuttle is approaching or departing the station because you can see them both pass as they 'chase' each other across the sky. Its a site to behold. A good place to find out when they (or any sattelite) will pass your location is J-pass. Do a search, its easy to find.
Oh, and Space Shuttle booms are way cooler then video games!!
