Boom! Boom! Did you hear it?

Space Shuttle Endeavour safely landed back on earth a little after 2:30 am last night. If you're in Central Florida, you may have heard the double boom-boom of the shuttle breaking the sound barrier on its way home.

STS-134 was the final mission for Endeavour, and while I am thrilled and relieved to see the crew safe back on terra firma, I am also sad to know that this amazing vehicle will never again tour the heavens.



Orlando Sentinel photographer Red Huber took this beautiful photo of the landing and posted it on his Twitter account:


Atlantis will be the final space shuttle mission, currently scheduled for July.

Endeavour STS-134

Just wanted to share with you some of the photos and videos from my Monday morning trip to Titusville to watch the final launch of the shuttle Endeavour:


Also, ICYMI, check out the great photos and video of Endeavour taken by Stefanie Gordon, who was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time - an early morning Delta flight from New York to West Palm Beach the same time as the launch.

She snapped the photos and video on her iPhone and posted them on her Twitter account when her plane landed. They quickly went viral and she enjoyed a little bit of celebrity on Monday.
