Mar 25, 2008 23:10 | #3 Did anyone in the SW states area happen to catch these two last night? When they passed over last night you could see the shuttle had purged what I would guess was water or maybe excess fuel and it looked like a comet tail, it was huge. Unfortunately I was not set up to shoot it as I had no clue that would be visible last night. Chris

I guess a roll over wouldnt happen so quick Couple of shuttle missions ago, NASA posted the arrival inspection roll over maneuver and even sped up (10x I think...) it took ten minutes to complete.
