As Mike Leinbach said today, "the sun will rise tomorrow morning." And we will fly again.
Good words here--thanks. I too find it difficult to make meaningful comments. I plan to get back to the "fav pics of the shuttle" thread(s) at some point and throw a few pics there. In the meantime, this is one of the all time favs of Atlantis.Thanks to all at the NASA centers for your efforts over the years!Quote from: Chris Bergin on 07/21/2011 05:33 pmQuote from: TFGQ on 07/21/2011 05:28 pmi have no words as well, this does not seem like it is totally real will take 3 or 4 days to post comments and try to make sense of it all and try to do deal with the reality of what is going on This thread won't be locked, because we'll have a new thread for "T&R" processing updates - so take your time.

I shot this video from the 15 end of the SLF this morning. I edited out the three minutes between the sonic booms and landing.

- No inflight SSME failure ever.

...SHUTTLE FIRSTS THAT WE CELEBRATE FOR NOT HAPPENING: - No RTLS abort ever. - No TAL abort ever. - No inflight SSME failure ever. - No OMS engine failure ever. - No contingency EVA to manually close the payload bay doors ever....I know my list is incomplete, so I welcome any and all additions!
