The space shuttle landed this morning around 9am EST. Make sure you click the picture above for the landing video ;). It’s really good for any aviation (gliding really) enthusiast. Make sure you watch the launch videos here from cameras located on the rear and nose of the right solid rocket booster. At 3 minutes it seperates from the shuttle and shows it flying off, and at around 7 minutes if when it splashes back into the ocean for recovery. The nose cam has the best view for takeoff and splash, but the rear has the best for seperation and ‘goodbye’.

(pardon the RealMedia linkage, it just streams better than the Windows Media file in this case. WM is available though)
