    Glad to see they are home safe!!!!

    WTG...gotta admit, watching the live coverage this morning, was like watching a firefighter safely pull a child from a burning building!!!!!!!

    Fantastic :) To think the number of people that doubted the success of the landing - proved them wrong by far! :D

    VERY cool! I stayed up waiting for the Kennedy landing, but couldn't make it any later. And it was just not enough sleep to get up for the actual landing. :( But, I'm sure there'll be coverage all over the news, so I'll get to see it, just not in real time.

    Congrats to Star, everyone else involved, and NASA in general for proving to the world that it CAN be done if they only let you! :D

    G.T. R.I.P February 4, 2007. You will be missed.

    Most people have short memories. Most of the media has no memory at all except for what went wrong and what they don't like. Screw 'em.

    We're proud of you all too. And of you too. ;)

    Can't help you much with the sleep, but we'll give you all the support you need. Support socks, jock straps, hernia braces, back braces. You name it. :D

    It certainly does speak volumes, star. Have a frosty adult beverage of your choice, you've earned it. :)
