  Aww, only a bit of PPOV. Shame, that Still, that was a great landing, very smooth.

  They may run a bit more of it during replays, but IIRC, the live transmission has been spotty for Edwards landings.

  I was one who got kicked out a few minutes before landing.  Bummer!  :angry:  I understand, tho.

  
  Yeah, we're really sorry about the guests getting knocked off for a bit. We had no choice, as the site was getting hammered (more than we ever thought it would) and it was take that action or the site would go down, so we had to take a protective measure.

  Hi Chris,
  
  But how do you get it so quick? - do you work for NASA?
  
  Thanks

  The video was synced to the same points STS-117 was going through, but was from STS-115 (as tagged). Just wanted to give you all an idea of what it was like on the flight deck at the same timeline.

  Ian,
  
  That video was from an entry and landing into KSC last September (STS-115).

  Ah
  
  So where those pictures actually from this landing or a previous one? - I dont get how you get them so quick if they are live.
  
  I take it the full video of this landing will only be available on L2?
  
  You'll probably edit/delete my post for this, but if you can get them are they not publically available elsewhere?
  
  Thanks
  
  Ian

• How come the runway and orbiter isn't swarming with people by now?
  *edit* - ah, the shot just changed and it is now!
  
  How long is it before the astronauts disembark?
  
  Do you see them get off, or do they pull a tower over the door?
  
  Thanks

• Nothing on L2 is publically available. That's the point of a subscription area See posts before about it being STS-115s.

• Can somebody in the know say what the various support trucks are/do? (I know some, but not certain :-)

• When are the pressure vessels of the O2, H2, N2, He and hydrazine depressurized?  Do they have to do that before the convoy can get close?

  I'd just like to say thanks to all you guys on this site.  As a 10 year-old when Apollo 11 landed I found space travel absoluteley enthralling .. your coverage of this mission has brought back many of those feelings.  Well done to you, Atlantis and her crew!

  
  Just like to echo this, it was my 7th birthday when man first walked on the moon, now due to broadband access which eables me to watch nasa tv and the coverage on this site it has re-ignited my passion for space. Cant wait for August.
  
  Thanks to all - for giving me a greater understand of the complexity of space flight.
