Welcome home and congrats to all involved!<br /><br />That was definitely worth staying up all night two nights in a row for I can breathe now...<br /><br />Wonder how long it will be until the next shuttle mission. <br /><br />Congrats on a wonderful flight!

"You know what, i think NasaTV has got 1-2 minutes delay, I watched via satellite! "<br /><br />Yeah, noticed that. Few minutes before landing I panicked because I realized I wasnt seeing 'live' so I thought my player had sort of buffered the stream. I tried to open a new player from different stream source but then couldnt connect.. and when I could it was already too late.. missed the touchdown <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" />

I was taking clothes out for my wife, when I heard two very LOUD bangs, at first I thought somebody way shooting somebody, then I thoight "With a Cannon?" Then I realized that it was the shuttle sonic boom!! A very nice wake up call for all Southern California!<br /><br />Welcome home Discovery!!!

 

[shuttle2moon]

Thanks SG...Now I work in peace and know that the heroes are back on Earth..
