This update thread is heavily focused on the events of entry prep and landing, so unlike the FD13 thread, this needs to be low on the chatter.

I've left the FD13 thread open for people who wish to continue with the suggestion posted here:
http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=26080.msg778709#msg778709

And once Atlantis is on the ground and her crew have egressed we'll set up a specific tribute thread for the Shuttle and her teams, as noted in the above link.

Yes, as you know, we've had several of those in downloadable HR videos on L2 most of yesterday, plus a large amount of TriDAR content since we were the only site to cover it from the start several missions ago. I'm glad the good folks at Neptec are getting some publicity via NASA TV.

Not just "God Bless America", but the classic and famous Kate Smith singing... with the MCC standing in honor.
