Superb landing!

I wonder if this will count as a night landing?

EDIT: No. Night landing is after sun set + 15 minutes. This landing was just around sun set.

Great mission. Thrilling all the way. This is one that will be remembered for some time.

Couldn't say it better myself. Incredible flight, incredible stories, incredible accomplishments and an incredible community to share it with here. Thanks to all, and time for us all to celebrate this landing!

Could it possibly be extended to include crew egress from the orbiter?

Chris and team: KUDOS! I've been following the shuttle since STS-1 (when I was still a kid). Was glad to get NASA TV on the Net, followed Spaceflight Now's Status Center (which is sometimes lacking in data and detail).

But I found this site right after STS-115 landed. Have to admit, I'm overwhelmed! I feel like this is the first time I've had a front-row seat on a mission. Many times I've gotten data long before the news or even NASA TV! Thanks for a great experience and more to come!
