Glad you had a good time. I sort of wish I had been there but I think it would have been a bit of a letdown with the very short show. The other night launches I saw had very clear weather. I was surprised they launched into weather where it was so cloudy even the long range cameras could not track the vehicle. In any case, 75 minutes to get back to Orlando is pretty good time.

Working from a robotics work station in the Destiny laboratory module, Robert Behnken and Garrett Reisman will send commands to move Dextre’s joints slightly to make sure internal brakes are working properly.
