From: vortex!lauren@rand-unix (Lauren Weinstein) OK. Now I'm mad. I've been a moderate-level supporter of the space program up to now, but now they're in trouble. I mean, let's face it, a person deserves his sleep right? Well how is a poor guy supposed to get rest with a spacecraft sonic booming all over the city! A pretty expensive wakeup call, to say the least. BOOM BOOM! --Lauren-- P.S. Just kidding of course. But I do hope that the landing pattern used yesterday does not become very "typical" -- it really did wake me up, and it set off burglar alarms all over the place. --LW--

From: Ron Tencati <TENCATI@JPL-VLSI.ARPA> Lauren may be right, that everyone deserves their sleep. But for myself and the rest of the crowd at Edwards' AFB on Monday, those sonic booms as well as the landing can only be described as SPECTACULAR! Now I don't feel so bad about paying my taxes...
