In the spirt of the shuttle landing in about five minutes, here is a video of a previous shuttle landing. It's well done, and the technology still amazes me.

I am an American. That's the way most of us put it, just matter of factly. They are plain words, those four: you could write them on your thumbnail, or sweep them clear across this bright autumn sky. But remember too, that they are more than just words. They are a way of life. So whenever you speak them, speak them firmly, speak them proudly, speak them gratefully. I am an American. ...a tradition

Heard the big ol' double-boom a bit ago. Welcome home, Discovery.

Indeed, have the say out of all the orbiters Discovery is most definitely my favorite.





Luckily the weather has been great in Florida, don't think they've had to land at Edward for a while now.
