I was there with our friends Petter and Octavia to watch the event unfold.

The flight was a bit delayed due to fog in San Francisco, but at around 10:45am we saw one of the jet support planes coming in and then the shuttle itself riding on the back of the 747 transport!
I only had our little point and shoot camera so you cant see how close it actually was, but it was probably only 500 feet or so above us!
I remembered my mum and dad waking my brother and i to see the first take off and landing of the shuttle as a little kid, so it was good to be able to see the end of that era.
