The scariest part of the ride in my opinion.

Good news on APU 1, no problems, and it will be fired up for landing. Plus, they do a helium vent during initial re-entry to purge any nasty gas.
I'm gonna try to get up and watch landing, got a busy day tomorrow though.
A very good flight, operational wise, clean belly, no real glitches.
I really want the next 2 missions under our belt, two more truss structures, 2 more sets of solar arrays, and a new motor to allow the arrays to follow the sun better for even more power.

Do you know the fight path? If in comes in from west to east I can usually hear the booms.
