How cool is that ?

[Zippy]

Very cool considering they are powerless on the engine front and dont get a 2nd chance at it.

[The Geoff]

Oh hell yeah

 

We're getting fairly good at the space thing, there's a few niggles to work out, but I honestly hope we get there before the next big rock takes out everything bigger than a medium cockroach.

 

That's going to be one of the last flights for shuttle - I really hope they do the decent thing and splash out on one last launch for each of the remaining ones so they can leave them in orbit. The engines alone are a great resource for getting to Mars

Very interesting vid.

Brilliant piece of piloting but no doubt he'd spent hours in a simulator perfecting the landing technique.

[Morb]

nice one.

I want a go!!!

[Capt Slog]

Neat landing.

 

I wonder if they all stand up the moment the wheels stop turning and start getting stuff out the overhead lockers?

[Hillside]

Well of course there is this:
