  "@CwG_NSF Spending some quality time with Atlantis as she sits outside OPF 1 for a special photo op"
  
  I guess this means L2 will have some great pictures coming...

  Would be cool if they got the team together again as they did on rollover day for some shots.

• Love the crew calling Atlantis a she.  Very testimonial.
  
  Antonelli sounds a little emotional.  "You can tell she just wants to get stacked again and head out to the pad with the condition she came back in.  That's what she wants to do."

• She performed flawlessly, within .01 on the burn. If I got that right.

• Ken Ham:  "Clearly riding inside of a fireball.  All the windows were bright brilliant orange.  Out the overhead window, couldn't tell if they were vorticies or bursts of plasma, but they were just shooting right over the orbiter.  The fun thing about this morning, is we flew right into sunrise.  Could see the blue right through the orange of the plasma.  We rolled, and it was just amazing to see all the colors together"

• Nice last question from Robert and answer from Ken Ham.  NASA TV provided a last shot of work spotting Atlantis in OPF-1.

• That's over and concludes STS-132 coverage.  Sweet and somber at the same time.
