According to the sources, a sonic boom reportedly occurred all across Los Angeles and was heard all over Southern California, as the much anticipated return of the NASA space shuttle Discovery reportedly landed at the Edwards Air Force Base at 5.50 p.m. (Pacific).
Earlirer during the day, bad weather conditions prevented the seven astronauts placed within the space shuttle from landing at NASA’ s Kennedy Space Center. The landing was delayed twice due to frequent thunderstorms, which is a kind of a re-occurrence of the circumstances on Thursday that had kept the shuttle orbiting for an extra day.
Sources reveal that Discovery reportedly discharged sonic booms as it roared past the California coast at a massive speed and landed at the air base situated at the north of Los Angeles. “Welcome home Discovery. Congratulations on an extremely successful mission,” echoed the words said by the shuttle commander, C J “Rick” Starlow. Mike Moses, the head of NASA’s mission management team reportedly announced that Discovery would be hoisted at the top of a 747 jumbo jet and would be flock back to the Kennedy sometime next week due to the poor weather conditions that have marred Florida. Inside sources reveal that the entire process regarding Discovery’s cross-country trip would mount to approximately $1.8 million.
Discovery reportedly dropped of as many as 18,000 pounds of supplies and resources at the space station, thus leaving the station a lot better equipped in order to house six crew members. “We are pretty, fat on supplies now, thanks to you. We are in better shape to carry out on our work,” said space station resident Mike Barratt.
