The last landing a KSC, I noticed a nose camera on (Atlantis, I think) with some great video 10 seconds from touchdown. Wonder if Discovery has the same setup.
01:41 am here, which will make tomorrow a long day.
Looking forward to it all....Bob

Unless you are in Central America, on a boat or rig
in the Carribean, or a guest at Club Gitmo, there
won't be much to see.

They wear relief tubes and diapers.
I hear Air France is going to offer diapers on future flights.

Dam garbage truck are always making noise at that hour anyway. Since they are hauling a butt load of trash from the space station they shouldn't any different!
