No, I didn't see it. Is this the first time you've seen a shuttle landing? I'm so old that I remember seeing them crash into the ocean after the moon landings, hehe

Glad to hear that it made it down safely. I bet there were a lot of prayers being said on it's approach. It's pretty cool to see all that heat radiating off of it and that parachute behind it to slow it down. In a few hundred years people will be looking at those images and thinking we were in the stone age still.... which we are when it comes to space exploration. The only "planet" we've ever been to physically is our own moon. It doesn't seem like much progress has been made in the last 50 years, but I guess it's all taking place behind the scenes by way of experiments.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
