Amazing
This is the landing of STS-129, after which only 5 shuttle trips are left. Right now there are 5 people in space. That’s where they live. Isn’t it just amazing? We are capable of building machines that sustain people in orbit around the Earth and travel up and down to that place back and forth.
And when we come back from the Space Station, the shuttle lands us on a tiny strip of concrete that exists only on one place on Earth. It can aim for that basically in free-fall and land perfectly. Wow.
Seeing what we can do, who wouldn’t want to go into space?
