Just watched some NASA news on the shuttle... it is schedule to land at KSC around luch time tomorrow... 1 chance (201 Burn) would almost bring it south to north along Florida... 2 try about 2 hrs later (202 Burn)... would bring it over the Yucatan... which they est. the shuttle would pass over Dean at an Alt. of 192,000ft or about 35 miles above the surface.... Unfortunate the shuttle would be in a right to left back, and the crew would not be able to see Dean below... Man that would of be a wild ride, if they had to take 2nd try to land at KSC. (of course they would be way above Dean!)
