[EaRcLoVeJj12]

Wow!!!

[adammarconif4]

Look at the wingtip vortex. I would like to see full HUD till touchdown. Anyone has the vieo with full HUD ?

[pickassoreborn]

This still amazes me.

[karvahanuri]

Extremely successfull mission. Since when did successful became over par? : )

[oldviolinat48]

@karvahanuri space shuttles are all going to russia ?

[Esset06]

Long live Sweden ! Christer brought us pride ! :-)

[FsxCaptain]

Totally agree :P

[eternoppfl]

bulgaria

[Cowgirlandboys]

incredible. Science is an art, as seen here. Great use of our tax money!

[rocketman6881]

An Excellent Landing !!!

[EndeavourLaunch]

Funny how NASA does all this amazing stuff without any bailout money, go Discovery!

[gordonmantecas]

Hermoso Aterrizaje !!

[Coventelite]

Thank god for those speedbrakes, anyone know at what speed this bird would stall?

[TimescapesdotOrg]

Plz give more money to NASA.

[youvebeenthunderstru]

Well, another successful mission. Congratulations. Next one, STS-129, flies in November.

[bonnano]

Welcome back Discovery! However, what are the fumes that seem to come out of the wings at the begining? Does anyone know?

[hotty198]

think they are just moisture being compressed by airflow.

[mach25man]

Just condensation trails.

[Nocturnox65]

edges of the wings create friction with the air and compress it, i dont know why it appears so dark though.

[andyoblatos]

Jose Hernandez welcome and the whole crew .....

[Tetsu0sh0]

Awesome. Gotta love today's Technology.

Flies in Atmosphere and Space.

[andyduckworth]

Incredible... only get one shot at it

[fenderbendur]

absolutely incredible. Welcome home discovery.

[Bocahin]

Vi är stolta över dig Fuglesang!

[Guldhedenopo]

welcome home Crhister Fuglesang!

[hivoltguy1]

Space flight is still our greatest technical achievement. We should never get tired of watching this or taking for granted the way it happens so routinely.

[imarchello]

falls like a rock..lmfao..

[JF7MAG]

Beautiful Landing!

[datori93]

but does anyone else agree that we should be focussing more on the problems on earth, then reaching out to the stars? Dont get me wrong, im a true trekkie and all, i love space! but surely there must be a cheaper way of doing, and maybe using the other funds for like... poverty aid? also... im not dismissing that we shouldnt go to space, maybe we should just wait a little longer.... or maybe do it in a more affordable way. Just my two cents worth

[laultimaciudad2050]

I AGREE. We must change the way our resources are being used and waisted today, stop using fuel and develop Solar Fields to save energy for centuries!!!

I AM WILLING TO WORK ONLINE AND INTERNATIONALY!!!

VAMOS HACIA EL FUTURO

[macronencer]

I'm glad they showed the HUD. I remember trying the simulator at KSC - it was not easy - I really respect those people. Congratulations to the crew, and welcome home!

[padro82]

awesome video!

[xokatyxo]

Awesome. :-D It was pretty funny on Twitter earlier.. got a sudden influx of tweets from people in California reacting to the sonic booms. About 20 people I follow (within a few seconds of each other) tweeted "WTF was that?!" and "Did we just have an earthquake??" (A few were more informed and tweeted things like "Wheee! Sonic booms! Welcome home Discovery!") Wish I could've heard the booms from London! Welcome back, Discovery. Nice landing!

[larumpole]

Awesome! The video really captures the speed at which the Shuttle lands and the rapid descent. Wish you could include some of the telemetry like altitude, airspeed, and rate of descent. Next time maybe?

[probableerror]

I cannot understand American people.

I am not american but I live in America.

Every time when there is shuttle launch or shuttle landing I feel like a special day.

People I talk dont even know that there is a launch.

This is THE unique thing Americans do for humanity. it should be subject to large celebrations I think.

[danbaumann84]

Perfect landing

[emmywright]

The sonic booms were crazy here! Reminds me of the old days before they landed in FL. Long live NASA and the wonderful things they do. Wo0t!

[catsondacoast]

wow that shot of the landing strip from the shuttle is astonishingly straight below them--they really are dropping like a brick!

[RobTFirefly]

Welcome home Discovery!

I'm really going to miss the Space Shuttle when it's gone. It's got such style.

[ahhitsrose]

Amazing landing- Go NASA

[Pixiemom2002]

Gave me goosebumps. So amazing. Thanks

[loveyk]

Beautiful!

[UberObscura]

WELCOME HOME, DISCOVERY! <3

[quietus2]

Great landing!

[zatmenow]

And i bet the lost their luggage some place on ISS.. LOL

[includao]

Team USA? NASA is American, but people over there do it for the whole humanity too :) And part of the mission involves the international space station. And international involves several countries.

[datori93]

but maybe the space shuttle crew were all american? but i agree...

[StevieMag]

What happens when you just had a 5,700,000 mile journey and you have ONE shot to get back to Earth? You land that sucker! Right on the mark. Mission completed. Team USA is home! AWESOME WORK!

[loneshark2000]

amazing how that thing is dropping like a rock! gliding it all the way home!
