WOW...what a way to cap off Endeavours' history and US station complete!

Indeed, simply outstanding!
They must display that picture with her!!

And the curtain comes down on what has to be one of the most amazing events ever. Felt like the first RPM we got to watch.

Really well done. Kept on the Soyuz cam for long periods, as we wanted. Rob Navias commentating.

Wonderfully done!

Well said, Chris!

Big props to Ron and Philip for the majority of the screenshots. The temptation to push back the chair and just watch was immense.

Paolo: "Sorry guys, I left the lens cap on".

JOKING! (I hope!) ;D

Seriously, that was absolutely stunning - and we haven't even seen the Hi-Res images/Hi-Def video yet. Amazing. There are no other words than that.

Somebody is going to need to help with figuring out converting .TS files to post later.  Capturing the quad feed and other things here.

Only sound from Soyuz no more images.
I hope they will have a safe ride back to Earth and not go ballistic.

How long until landing?

Well, that was totally amazing.

Can't wait to see the photos and get along to the photoshop and get an A0 print. I suspect I might have difficulty in chosing which one though :)

The Docking cam vid was AMAZING!

Now I'm glad I hooked up the Media Center PC to the HDTV!
