Well, that's another one gone. Not many more flights left now.

You know, I'm all for retiring the Shuttle in one sense, but I'll admit that there will never be anything quite like watching that hot brick drop! Gorgeous landing!

Only two more for Atlantis ...

The shuttle is the pilot's ultimate dream machine. I'd take that baby down among those lakebeds anytime!
A great mission, and thanks to all of you NASASpaceFlight.com guys who contributed over the 15 flight days with screenshots and other updates.

Beautiful landing in California, although it looks like they could have landed at KSC now. Hey, hindsight is always 20/20, I agree with the decision as does everybody probably. Better safe than sorry. Plus, it's always another cool thing to see the shuttle on the SCA. Now its time to start getting ready for Endeavour!

I just described the landing to my 14 year-old daughter as watching a brick land with wings. Whilst she was watching she asked "when are they going to drop the wheels?". "About 5 seconds before landing" I reply and she walks away looking absolutely amazed. I agree -- the Shuttle meeds to be replaced, but it's amazing to watch just how it works!

Has anything been said on how Suni Williams is doing? It's just that Thomas Reiter did not feel too good after his landing in December after returning from zero-g for such a long time...

WHen I watched the landing, I noticed there seemed to be a slight lag on the dropping of the right landing gear. I had never noticed a difference between the two before. I thought it seemed a bit curious.
