yeh it is my understanding that they are trying to land the shuttle at kennedy unless its an absolute neccesity to land elsewhere, in which case there are a number of options..

the fact that the shuttles are gournded and this is an important test flight for the shuttle fleet means there will be massive testing and investigation going on when the shuttle gets back, so they want it in florida for that..

i stayed up so late last night waiting for that thing to land.. i have a feeling im gonna end up doing that again.. damn weather better hold up...
