    They always amaze me that even with just 13 minutes to Landing they could consider an alternate approach since they are gliding!:eek:

    And steady too. On STS-130 they took ages to track her and were a bit wobbly. And the PAO often talks over the sonic booms but got 'em nice and loud today.

    There are 2 distinct sounds on Nasa TV. One is a whirling, like a siren and the other is a pressure release (saw puffs coming from top of orbiter in Infra red view)

    What are they?
