This is spectacular footage of a historical moment. Definite props and kudos go to Russian TV for this wonderful piece of history. The voice over is in perfect English. Only three more times will you see such a feat of inspirational awe and beauty. Sorry folks. This always makes me proud as an American and gives pause for a moment of prayer for those lost in such undertakings. Godspeed Shuttle Crews and Godspeed Russian TV. Thanks again for the wonderful highlights of another mission well done!

Yep, I stayed up late watching NASATV and the landing last night. It is always so cool to see what goes on during a launch or landing.
