I'm Just a Bit Behind

But driving back Monday, I missed the shuttle landing, and in the strangeness that was last week I missed most of the mission coverage.

So welcome home Discovery!

For anyone else as behind as I am, coverage (and videos!) can be viewed on the shuttle section of NASA's webpage.

On a semi-related note, the Kennedy Space Center has what sounds like an excellent visitor area. Despite being in FL for two semesters I never made it up to watch a launch or see any of the attractions. Particularly interesting is the option to "be an astronaut for a day" including training and a simulated mission at the end. The center in Houston sounds nowhere near as interesting. A "short" trip may be in order some day....
