The "preferred downlinks" in this mission have been some of the best shots I've seen in the entire program. Not that others were not stunning, but in this "real tv" era, just watching from behind the sceene, particularly today, the final transfers, the farewell, the hatch closing and the undocking and flyaround operation from the flight deck, watching the crew pushing buttons and amazing themselves by the sight from the windows, kind of brings me into the orbiter as if I was part of the crew, experiencing that very moment.

And great coverage too. Cheers!

Some sweet money shots from the NASA TV coverage. Thanks for covering this! Now I'm drumming my fingers and hitting "refresh" on the spaceflight.nasa.gov site and checking L2 for any hint of hi-res pics of the new "finished truss" configuration.

I'll go out on a limb and say there will be many screensavers made out of those...

Or at least wallpapers (for me)
