Ha! Holy smokes, I even jumped sitting here watching it, lol! I remember many years ago when it was common to hear sonic booms every so often. You'd always jump about 10 feet but it was always cool!
Soon the only place to hear this sound may be an Airforce base or on Youtube. We are truly moving backwards as a species...First we lose the concorde, next the Space shuttle. What next? So what we can text - our future is supposed to be in space.
@Zickcermacity Worry not, we'll have our new NASA programs which will be to make the Muslim community feel good about their "contributions to science". That Obama rascal, what will he ever think of next?!
Well you can thank all these wars we've been wasting money on all these years. You know what i mean I don't go into details. Then we need to cut NASA, education and health care funding - I wonder why.
lots of people don't know it but a "Sonic Boom" is actually a constantly occuring effect. Us on the ground only hear it once, if we are lucky twice. but if we were able to keep up with the object in flight then we would here multiple sonic booms constantly until the object which is flying decreases its speed until sub-sonic
More accurately, a supersonic object "drags" a high sound pressure, conical front behind it and when the edge of that cone (which constantly sweeps along the groundtrack at the speed of sound) reaches a ground observer he hears the sonic boom. That does NOT mean the object "broke through" the sound barrier at that instant. If the observer kept teleporting himself ahead following the ground track of the supersonic object, he could hear a sonic boom again, and again and again.
And if/when the supersonic object drops below the speed of sound (as is the case with the returning and decelerating shuttles for example), that cone stops being produced at that moment, but can still travel ahead in the distance and be heard before dissipating. You can therefore hear a shuttle boom come to you even while the shuttle is still in the distance, as long as it slowed down to subsonic a sufficient time ago.
i was working in the yard for Darrell's Docks in Cocoa Beach when it came in and since im from Montana i thought someone was shooting at me... pretty funny
We were at Kennedy Space Center watching Endeavour on a monitor when it happened. Being from Chicago it was really cool for us to hear it! Thanks for posting. My kids are enjoying re-living their KSC experience again.
that was exactly how i felt, i wasnt really expecting it, i knew the shuttle was coming in, i hoped to get a visual, but looking at the nasa feed it was already 50miles north of me over merritt island and then out of no where it sounded like somebody set off shotgun next to my house! was really freaky!
i heard a sonic boom when the shuttle came over the mid-west once. scared the living crap outta me!!

The Space Shuttle itself breaks the sound barrier twice due to it's length.
