Comments on: Live Shuttle landing video chat http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/06/13/live-shuttle-landing-video-chat/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

I watch in awe every time it blasts off and and lands. Too many people take this stuff for granted: designing and building the shuttle alone were terrific feats of engineering.

The sound of the wind is on a repeating loop lasting a couple seconds. The sound of the crash reaches the camera the instant we see the crash despite it being far away.

Fake.

Been an awesome week for space exploration with the trifecta of :

1) GLAST launching

2) Phoenix getting it scoop of Mars

& now

3) Shuttle home safely and successfully.

The shuttle may have its faults but today’s its done a lot better than my pushbike did – I did indeed end up having to push that home with a flat (& coming off the rim) tyre! ;-)
