did u all catch it's landing today?+ wow:) it was pretty cool to see it land and what a perfect landing!:) (cnn news showed it )

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.

Ive just watched it at newspaper on-line. Probably no one shuttle landing since the first ones had generated so many STRESS to NASA and world in general... :)

I'm glad that it worked this time. Instead of putting all the money to the military the US should give the NASA a fair share. Hope they develop a reliable alternative soon. It's our only hope to reach the stars and boldly go, where no man has gone before.

Well we sure would get a lot more for our tax dollars that way if the military budget were spent on projects for NASA. They'd certainly have more for R&D, completing the space station, getting a base on the Moon and the manpower to make sure it was all done safely that way. We'd certainly have a lot more to show for what the military could do that way.

Congrats to the crew of the shuttle! I'm so happy they are back on Earth safely!

" 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," I waited for 1986 to see man landing in Mars, as in original NASA's chonogram, and nothing happened, no Mars no more flights to the Moon, all was canceled and no more progress!

I wish they'd finally build that "Star Wars" platform that Ronald Reagan had been pushing for. With the kind of 'nuclear nut-jobs' that are running places like N. Korea and Iran, we need it more than ever.

You can use another movie and call Chuck Norris for the work.

I got awoken by a double sonic boom this morning from the landing being so close by! Everything shakes, lol, and car alarms went off too. I am so happy it landed at Edward's, I've missed those sonic booms. Glad it touched down safely.

Actually that might be a good idea, since the Cold War was ended when Reagan sold the Russians on the idea of "Star Wars" then got them to spend themselves broke keeping up with it. We could get Arnold to sell everyone else that wants to develope weapons on the idea of a space platform that's watching them which could keep them cautious about doing anything. Arnold has been making progress in California so he probably would be up to the job that Reagan did also. That way we could have another space station that could service craft in orbit, refuel them for outer orbits, grow perfect crystals and more refined medicines.

Arnold has been making progress in California so he probably would be up to the job that Reagan did also. Not too sure if I get your meaning here - Arnold as a future President of the USA? It was my understanding that your Constitution forbids anyone who was not born in the USA from becoming President?

That's right there already has been talk of amending the Constitution to allow that. The idea has some support. Arnold already has done a lot for the image of California and getting the legislature to follow his lead, like Reagan did when he was Govenor and could probably follow his example of his act in the Cold War. With a new and expanded space station and improved shuttle type vehicles to service it, they probably could develope the kind of nanotechnology tyhey've been theorizing about.

"I waited for 1986 to see man landing in Mars" Same here.... but now I'm beginning to think I will be lucky to see a landing on Mars in my lifetime. Then again if i can find out which "youth formula" the Rolling Stones are using I may live long enough to see my dream.....:)

OMG! No kidding! I watch them leaping around on stage and I need a nap!!!!!!! LOL

Oh, I readed a nice story in a magazine. It explained that Men havent returned to Moon because radiactivity. The story told that the last crews that went to Moon found there ET buildings and they finally destroyed them with atomic bombs, so radiation didnt allow to return in the follow years A nice story from UFO-searchers, X-Files lovers and all that people. Mmmmh... faked or fiction...? ;)

I know another one story about ETs. In the last mission once the landed module departured from the moon, landed an Ufo and a lot of aliens started to examinate what was left by man, the funny thing is the speech between the orbiting module and the landing module received by an radio-amauteur, the man in the orbiting module didn't care about the ETs, his worry was if they were touching the mirrors left on the moon, he asked several times about the mirrors!

Heh. I have readed stories about in the live tv transmission of the last mission a ETs head appeared in a square of the screen and inmediately NASA cut the image... The truth is out there...

Don't forget the face at Cydonia, later explorations of Mars were far away from there and pathfinder found worst things, as usual, discovered by normal people looking at the released images.

I just heard about something that is much more urgent and dire. There has been reports of a guy that was abducted by aliens and they told him that they needed some precious metals to repair their ship or they were going to push a massive asteroid into hitting the earth so he has to sell enough stuff to be able to buy the precious metals by November 21st. I've done my part and I hope everyone on this site can do theirs.
