STS-121 Landing Live!



Of course this isn't actually live HERE since it happened at 9:14 am EDT, but I watched NASA TV on my computer for the last 30 minutes of Discovery's entry, approach, and landing. I've watched Shuttle landings before, but this is the first time I recall seeing live HUD video from the pilot's perspective and it was really great! Congratulations to the Discovery crew and to NASA on a great mission.

Hear hear FS! It was a superb mission. I caught the final 90 minutes and it was thrilling, right down to the squeaking brakes. Contratulations crew and all the unknown but essential backroom people.
