Apparently, California is more dangerous than I thought. Shortly after 5:00am on August 9th in Antelope Valley, CA, two different sheriffs offices received calls from dozens of people reporting a shooting. Apparently, they all awoke to a loud bang that they assumed was a gun.
In reality, they experienced the earth shaking double sonic boom caused by Discovery’s landing. One boom woke the townsfolk from sleep and the other frightened the hell out of them. Now, Californians have to worry about gang wars and shuttle landings.
