Congratulations to all for what appears to be a flawless flight (except

While stopped on the runway, if they fired the OMS engines, would the

I put the webcast almost 11 minutes after the actual landing time.  Time on
my computer was 6:24am (3:24pm KSC time).

Last night, when I was watching "The Celebrity Apprentice" between 9
PM and 11 PM, I saw what looked like a gas flare in the sky here in
Southern New Jersey, a quick flash of orange, streaking to look like
