Endeavour made a picture perfect landing today at the Kennedy Space Center. Probably one of the prettiest landings i've seen in some time. I don't know if it's cause i got to spend time with some of the crew or what, but i had a better appreciation for that landing. It's amazing how that spacecraft-turned-aircraft plummeted 28000 ft in less than 3 minutes. The double sonic boom was pretty cool...as always. i'm not sure the little Cessnas that i flew could even fall out of the sky that fast. It seems i get a new appreciation for aerodynamics every time i watch a mission. The shuttle is truly an impressive machine.
With the successful landing of Endeavour, i declare the STS 118/13A.1 Mission a complete success. The crew will be returning to Houston tomorrow and shortly after than there will be many crew and post landing parties. We all need a little break.
I wasn't even going to go into work today, but i had a meeting i had to be at to fill out background information for a new badge. I figured since i was near work today i'd just go in and watch the landing from the place i watched the launch: the FCR-1 viewing room with my 13A.1 orbit 2 team.
So, little motivation leads to a long lunch. It was a nice little lunch. But i tell you, doing any work after that was a lost cause.
So, i came home a little early and got in some quality jamming...ahhh...things are getting better. But i'm a little disappointed in the cover that i'm working on. I've got some of it down, but i'm too slow and i don't have it all down yet. I guess more practice right?
Tonight, the MudDogs prevailed in a pretty good little game. It was a tougher challenge than last week, but we beat an undefeated team. So...it was an all around good day.
