Glad to hear they landed safely, I didn’t realize they delayed it.

Dammit, that delay interfers with a soccer game starting at 20:00 MET (landing time is now 20:14 MET / 3:14pm EDT). But probably the weather is favorable for a landing, so I have to find a way to watch both.

Looks like they waved off the first landing attempt. I can only think – with the weather system to the west – that it’s only going to get worse. But who knows.

Up on the ISS it must seem like Grand Central Station. No sooner has Discovery undocked and is returning to the Cape, but a Soyuz is launched and docks as of this morning. It’s amazing to me that they (NASA and the Russian Space Program) can handle so many complex operations at the same time. We have come a LONG way since the Mercury program

@Rider I’m green with envy. The most I get is the sound of glass crashing into recycling trucks, which is slightly less awe inspiring than the sonic booms of manned spacecraft returning from orbit.
