The space shuttle was supposed to land today but the first window was a "no go." They will try again @ 3:14 p.m. EDT, with a deorbit burn of 2:08 p.m.

Thanks, I'd forgot all about that...too bad the Northrup Strip is a last ditch landing only site... I'd love to see it come in.

It's really windy here. We're about 3 hours north of KSC, not sure how windy it is there, but the TV pic shows a sky that looks just like it does here. There's a big-a$$ storm coming in from our west, but they should be down in time.

Yeah I watched it split screen... Nasa and Fox News (HDNet didn't cover) Fox was a few seconds behind Nasa... Thick clouds there for away's when they went to infrared...

Another successful mission and landing! Downloaded the HD clip of the station flyover from the NASA website, and it looks like a shot from Star Trek! Finally, the station is symmetrical.
