When I remember, I try to find out if the Space Shuttle will be de-orbiting anywhere near my neck of the woods (and no, not because of the tragic explosion over Texas).  Unfortunately it's coming in across Central America and over the Gulf of Mexico, so there'll be no chance to see it.  I did discover on the same page, awesome videos taken from cameras attached to the Solid Rocket Boosters.  Wow.

Two grand slams in one 11 run inning.  Up 12 games in mid-July.  Best record in the National League.  Is this my Mets we're talking about?
