• Fergie said something about a door opening during the descent. Do we know anything more on this?

  Oh my goodness. Mike Fossum saw Atlantis' Plasma trail through the Cupola windows. Please tell me he's got that on tape.
  

  
  Sure we do, it's on L2 NOW
  
  

  
  That was one hell of a thing to come back to!

• Not sure if this is where they're going to park her for the speeches and BBQ or whether they'll move in farther.

• Saw a chock on the nose gear, so this is would seem to be the temp park place for a little bit.

• Any reason why Atlantis' APU venting was not so prominent this time ?. I remember, Endeavour was like a dragon! on STS-130 wheel stop.
