[RobF (Rob)]

38 mins to go.....

[Chillie (Henry)]

It has landed.

Welcome home Atlantis. Great job. Well done.

[RobF (Rob)]

Incredible - I've never watched one in realtime. Fantastic to see the HUD view from the cockpit so many miles above the clouds when they did that final positioning turn!!

[that_guy (Tony)]

That was SWEET!!!I watched it launch on Nasa TV side Bar tool... Now i saw it land...
Hopefully this would be on the news...

Smooth touchdown to finish such an outstanding career. Welcome home Atlantis. Bravo

... now wouldnt this be a great send off.
" Houston this is Atlantis, requesting a flyby.."

[MrB (Simon)]

Was fun to watch.
The spaceflightnow stream kept stalling so I changed to NASA TV, after that all was good.
Thanks for the heads-up Rob.

Wow, uncanny!! Missed this post as got home from a public viewing, settled down to watch the tV, and Stargate Atlantis was on .... AND, ATLANTIS (yes the city is a spaceship) landed on Earth near to the time that Atlantis returned home!!!!
