*pouts* I have audio only on my NASA TV feed.

Yeah; it just started looping a short segment of audio. I haven't had picture for a while. I think their server is overloaded. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>

Excellent.<br /><br />I got home from work a few minutes after the de-orbit burn. Watched it on Fox News.<br /><br />Well done, NASA, USA and whoever else had a hand in this flight. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="3" color="#ff9900"><p><font size="1" color="#993300"><strong><em>------------------------------------------------------------------- </em></strong></font></p><p><font size="1" color="#993300"><strong><em>"I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.

My 2 cents.<br />Yeah taking a shot at KSC might have worked, but they kept rule #1 in mind.<br /><br />Bring the crew (and craft) home safely.<br /><br />Kudos to everyone involved, and as usual a great pilot, who I know isn't called a pilot.<br /><br />{please restart breathing program.....} <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

Does anyone else think it's taking a long time for the convoy vehicles to appear?

Wonderful landing! They just did a fly over shot, looks like the OMS pod blanket "tuck" repair worked well, no high temp readings or obvious separation, etc.

Seems to be a lot of traffic on the road in the background, would that be a public road? Seems pretty close...

Does anyone know what the temperatures are like on the shuttle's exterior just after landing; are areas still very hot OR very cold etc?
