It should pass nearly directly over my house between San Francisco and Sacramento. I'll try to get some pictures.

Like the greatest hero of the space-faring age (http://gizmodo.com/5173385/shuttle+riding-bat-dies-the-most-glorious-death-imaginable), the Shuttle has gone but will live on in legend and history.

We got some nice views here in Houston on Wednesday.

None of my shots of the flyover were that great, but here it is on the ground at Ellington:

It's gorgeous in a depressing sort of way.

I doubt I'll see it. I live a bit west of it's flight path through the Bay Area and it's cloudy. I would love to, though.
