if they need to land it at Edwards, let it stay parked there until they figure where it needs to be shipped to be used as a planter or whatever....

taking these out of service before getting a replacement on line is just so friggin wrong....

NASA TV:”De-orbit burn is now complete. The Shuttle is on it’s way home.”

Actually Atlantis will be re-groomed to stand by as an emergency vehicle. But still, these shuttles were designed to fly 3 times the missions they’ve completed.

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: We need an SSTO (Single-Stage-To-Orbit) vehicle! We CAN do it...why WON’T we???

I’ll be waiting to hear the “booms” as it flies over! The last couple of landings have come in from the north and have not heard them.
