Don't know yet. Probably not, but I may be hit with Mid-morning insomnia that makes me get up.

I am considering getting up for about 5 minutes around that time to watch, but that's all. I'll be recording regardless. That's just not when my body is meant to be up. :lol:

I won't watch live. But I will catch the coverage on the noon news. 4:45am is too early for my body right now. On the other hand, if for some reason I can't sleep, I may tune in.

I will not be getting up at 4:45 to see it since I have to be up at 6:00 am to get ready for my school crossing duties.

It's coming in from the SW... so it'll probably be more like Fort Myers across to the Cape.

I'm not up THAT early for work. I usually get up at 5:30 am. I will put the news on though and I hope to see a smooth, clean landing!

I am going to watch it, since it's supposed to be visible in Texas for a short time. I will have my camera ready.

I have my alarm set. All I want to hear is those twin sonic booms and a hearty "welcome home Discovery" from the TV newscaster.

With Columbia, that's what alerted me. No sonic booms. Just silence.

I probably won't have gone to bed yet. Here in the center of Florida we can sometimes here the double boon of re-entry. I want to be watching to see that they make it and to send lots of prayer their way. Of course, I don't work and can sleep until noon if I like. Yeh!!!for retirement.

I'm alittle anxious to see that thing land safely. I want to see that thing land safely before I sleep, only makes sense. I slept earlier and I'm ready for the long haul overnight.

I was wondering the same thing. Sometimes it is very loud here in Melbourne and sometimes we don't hear it at all. It is supposedly coming up from the Southwest, so it looks like there is a good chance to here the sonic booms.

Well tommorow will be a little more late in the timeframe so more people can see it live.Hopefully they come home without a hitch.
