RESOUR> Rare opportunity to see shuttle reentry in western USA

The shuttle is scheduled to be landing at 6:16AM Pacific Time in Florida
early Saturday Morning,  after a reentry that will cross just north of the
Bay Area of California and then continue eastward before sunrise.   The
Shuttle shoudl be very visible as it reenters (I saw this once before for an
Edwards landing and it stopped traffic on I-5 it was so dramatic).

We don't see these on the West Coast very often.  This should be visible
over much of California, Oregon, Nevada and Utah and east at least to the
edge of the Mountain Time Zone.

TECHNOLOGY AND THE PERFORMING ARTS
Would you like to give your teachers a resource
where they can find out how to integrate the Internet
with General Performing, Cool Stuff, Dance, Theater,
Circus, Costumes, Vaudeville / Burlesque,
Playground / Amusements, and Special Events / Festivals

Shuttle ground tracks are at:

Current shuttle status is at:
http://spaceflightnow.com/shuttle/sts107/status.html

One of these sights should have the updated information in case they decide
to land later, however right now everythign looks good for an early morning
landing.   Flight over the Bay Area (inside the atmosphere during reentry)
will be at 5:54AM PST Saturday morning (22 minutes before touchdown at
Kennedy Space Center).  You can hear a sonic boom when this happens, over *4
and half minutes* later.
