That content isn't usually posted until after the mission is all done. SFN+ and NSF usually post it the day after or so. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

That's true for the cabin view.<br /><br />However they show the cockpit and heads up display live for the final turn and approach. <br /><br />Edit<br />It's called the "Pilot's Point of View video camera" <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

You have cable? Fox News or CSPAN. Looks like the House of Representatives are at lunch, so C-SPAN may show it live. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

I'm not even that cool!<br /><br />Being poor and just out of college, cable is but a dream. I am considering canceling our land line phone service (the wife and I have cell phones) and upgrading our DSL. That should take care of it. The hard part is talking to Qwest support...I dread that. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

12:15 p.m. - Discovery's landing path today crosses diagonally over North America from northwest to southeast. Entering over the west coast of British Columbia north of Vancouver, the shuttle will fly over the states of Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia before crossing the northern border of Florida and heading toward the east coast on its final approach to Kennedy. <br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

Don't know if you'll see anything, but it couldn't hurt to look.<br /><br />It will be crossing the date line in about 2 minutes.<br /><br />I'd watch from 9:35 to 9:45.<br /><br />Good luck!! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

Nice shot from the end of the runway seeing the rear end of the orbiter as it touched down.<br /><br />A very artsy shot!! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

I'd also like to add it was a great call by the weather folks. I have a feeling that within 1/2 hour the cloud coverage will exceed landing limits. There is a mass of cumulus/startocumulus heading down from the north. It might thin out, but would have made it less fun.<br /><br />It might have been a much tougher landing without that great call on the timing.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

This time they had a very clear shot from a chase plane off to the right of Discovery as it approached the end of the runway. Previously they had always used a shot from along the runway, or the top of the VAB before cutting to that end-of-the runway rear angle. This time you saw it from above, looking down and to the side, and could clearly see how fast it was coming down.
