• One of the smoothest touchdowns I've ever seen for what should NOT be the final flight of this great Bird. Its somehow not right that this could be the final.

• No deltas to post landing.  Establishing comm with the NCC.

• beautiful landing, I will end my coverage here

• ET Umbilical Doors coming open. 
  
  Doors open to 90 degrees (motors don't drive the doors past vertical in the 1G environment).  Crew doesn't have insight into the position of the doors in this position, and uses timing to position them.
