We couldn't believe a ship could go into space and land back on earth like an airplane!

    I teach in a little town not far from NASA-Ames. We took our students out to see the flight and got a pretty good view.

    It seems NASA could have timed this better for the Florida departure, at least as far as WDW's impact was concerned.
