The orbiter Discovery slows to a stop after landing on Runway 15 at NASA's Shuttle Landing Facility, completing mission STS-121 to the International Space Station.
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

You work fast. A great and detailed image. Too bad NASA does not work this fast. If they did not wear everything out before the flight, they would have fewer problems. Like the loose right air probe switch!
I will show these to my husband. he was commenting on the burn marks also. I thought I heard them say the heat got up to 3000 degrees at one point. Whew. Your butt would looked scorched too. Ha! Good post.

Really a Great shot.
You can tell the lady got a bit "fired" up comin home.
I heard her come home.
I was out walkin my Grand pup, when "BOOM, BOOM!!"
The dog about crapped. I just said, "Welcome home".
I live in Florida. We know when our Lady comes home. When her glide path is across Orlando, ....It's 2 Booms. When she comes in along the coast, we don't hear a thing. But we're still watchin for our ladybird to come home.
