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."

    After Challenger and Columbia, it almost sounds like they want the program to fail.

    Hopefully, NASA will not send in this pile of junk to space again..
