"sounds like a party is going on in the shuttle right now!"

almost a c3-po moment for a second

this site is an awsome place, with nasa tv in the corner of the screen and a cup of coffee shaking in my hands i think im shot,
awsome is a word often bounded around but its times like this that its well justified,
thanks guys,

JJ..

Were those red flashes an APU exhaust?

It looks like them...didn't see it live and obviously if this was after APU shutdown, then no.

Under some atmospheric conditions, the APU exhaust does produce a visible flame, but it doesn't seem to happen that often.

Houston PAO (Kyle Herring) signing off, handing over to KSC ground operations and Bruce Buckingham.

Normally it's 2 hours after landing (in 1 hour from now).

It happened again. Anyone else hear the announcer call Discovery "Atlantis"?

During the STEREO launch, I believe, the commentator said "this is shuttle lanch control at T-19 minutes..." when in fact, it was a Delta

They all look the same, so it's hard to tell them apart (uhhh...right ;-))

Happens occasionally...they are providing real-time commentary without a backspace key.

Here's a video clip I shot from the SLF of the landing. I apologize for the "shadow" and the couple frames of pixelation. I picked a bad tape to shoot on. BUT.... enjoy anyway....

Give 'em a break -- I've heard Capcoms and, if I recall correctly, crew members make this mistake. Not a big deal.
