Very likely will hear the sonic boom, visual might be tough


I ChatGPT'd it earlier for Mandeville:

quote:

During re-entry, the Dragon spacecraft may be visible as a bright, fast-moving object in the sky. However, visibility depends on several factors, including the time of re-entry, the spacecraft's trajectory, atmospheric conditions, and local weather. Given that the re-entry is planned for the early evening, there is a possibility that residents in Mandeville, Louisiana, could witness the event, provided the sky is clear and the trajectory passes within visible range.

Supposed to be this evening, correct?

for a splashdown off the Florida coast around 6 p.m. Eastern, weather permitting.
5 PM CDT.

No.
I saw a map where it's coming in over the Yucatan and landing in the northern Gulf near the Big Bend of Florida

So we can see it if we can see it? Thanks for nothing, ChatGPT.

Yeah if this map is accurate (from Mike's Weather Page) then GPT is truly useless

4:57 central. I know it’s only 3 minutes, but you can fall a long way in 3 minutes.

I saw it one of the previous reentries from south BR. It was pretty cool. Will be trying again tonight.
