Soyuz Re-Entry Live Thread

[don-o]

Sixteen minutes to the burn. Praying for a safe one

[Tunehead54]

When will we know they're safely down? (Bump)

First time for American astronauts to land on foreign soil; and on the dirt rather than the water. And evidently a new design of the Soyuz.

[don-o]

I have NASA TV streaming. NASA-TV is available on some cable systems as well. I think they are supposed to land about an hour after the burn.

[Green]

where are they landing?

[don-o]

Ten minutes to burn. They are very close to the ISS, and NASA says that the burn might be visible from the station.

Landing was set for 10:07 p.m. EDT in a remote spot 250 miles southwest of Kazakhstan’s capital, Astana.

Thanks.

Wish I could remember who was on the live thread when our shuttle crashed.

Besides me.

Here's a link for those wanting their external media player to pop up (like me): NasaTV High Speed Windows Media.

[2Jedismom]

Got it. Thanks.

[don-o]

There was communication all the way. Burn is completed.

Burn was over S. America. Landing in about 50 minutes.

[2Jedismom]

I'll stay right here.

[don-o]

And hello, my friend. Nice to see you. How are them fine boys doing?

[jmstein7]

bump!

[2Jedismom]

They are doing very well, thanks! We had a very exciting day the other day...
