The space mission has been going well and the coverage I've been seeing on CNN seems to be quite good. No alarms anywhere. Not to mention the LA Flood Drainage Basins, as shown in that movie where the woman from Million Dollar Baby landed it there. Either way, beautiful landing. I love watching that machine. It's just so... beautiful. Congrats, NASA!_______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
