Safe Landing For Space Shuttle Discovery

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the made-it-back-done dept.

dylanduck writes "Discovery is back safe and sound, despite minor problems with a leaky power unit and a last minute change of approach direction to the runway. The mission tested some post-Columbia safety changes, and also set up the space station for future construction. But in some ways, the tough job starts now - NASA has just 40 days or so to get Atlantis up."

    I had this great idea for a comment and when I tried to post it I got some "database maintenance" error. I tried for hours but to no avail. Finally I have to go to bed and when I wake up there's 10 more stories on top of the one I wanted to reply to so if I posted it nobody would see it. Thanks a lot Taco.

    But you have to admit, fuloffles -- however tasty they might be -- can't even begin to compare with Astronaut Ice Cream
