A space shuttle landing would be great to see. From what I understand it comes down like a controlled brick with a massive rate of descent:
During the final approach, the commander steepens the angle of descent to minus 20 degrees (almost seven times steeper than the descent of a commercial airliner). For more go here…
I have seen two launches as close as you are allowed to be, and they were something I would not have missed for the world. It’s something everybody needs to do, at least once. [John Robb’s Radio Weblog]
