Anyone hear the sonic boom this morning around 4:30 AM? I heard it not realizing that we had a spacecraft entering orbit over Mississippi at that time. I thought one of my dead pine trees had fallen on the house and then I found out later it was the dragon endurance entering earth’s atmosphere for a landing in Pensacola. It shook my house in Madison. Wife has a co-worker who was out walking his dog and filmed it.

Yes. I specifically got up to watch SpaceX Dragon Crew-7 streak across the sky during re-entry. Awesome thing to watch and then a few minutes later you heard the sonic boom. 3 mins after that was splashdown off the coast of Pensacola.
We got lucky with a clear night to see it.

I thought they filmed all that crap in some backwoods frontier of Nevada.
Hell i thought you meant Jackson State’s band.
At first I was wondering where you lived with all those hilltops in the background. That was some pretty impressive MS elevation!
Elon don’t play around. He gets stuff done.
I was in Orlando on a co-op work semester when the first shuttle to launch and return to Canaveral happened in 1984. It was the Challenger and we went over to Canaveral to watch it launch on a Friday which was pretty damn neat. Then a week later it returned. It was descending just over the Gulf Coast of FL around Port St Richey and then flew just over Orlando and then to Canaveral about 50 miles east of Orlando. When it passed over Orlando it was early morning and the sonic boom rattled and shook the house and was ungodly loud. I was in bed, wish I had remembered it was happening but I was a young dude back then and had Fridays off after working 4x10's so I was still in the bed resting up for the weekend.......
