Good morning, Dita.
I missed the landing this morning.
It is always a beautiful sight.

Hope you are having a great Love Your Pet Day.

I like it, I like it, you are the very spirit of Springtime, Amy:) LOL.

It was such a beautiful Atlantis landing. The skill that goes into that is unimaginable to most of us. Hundreds of people work on those shuttle missions and yet it comes down to one man being able to safely guide and steer the ship to a smooth and safe touchdown.

Hats off to Commander Steve Frick who took over the controls from Pilot Alan Poindexter during the last 5 or 10 crucial minutes.
