First landing opportunity, originally scheduled for 19:05EDT was waived
due to clouds.
Crews have now been given the order to restart fluid loading with hopes
that currently thinning clouds will allow the shuttle to use the second
landing opportunity.
Crew on shuttle said something like "yeah sure, we've seen that before"
(aka: hopes weather will be clear enough for next opportunity are not
very high).
Clouds are apparently on a thinning trend. |

Deorbit burn done.
about 25 minutes to landing.
Looks like weather improved and they gave it a go ahead.
(Currently in LOS for another 5.5 minutes) |

Landed safely at KSC.
BTW, is there a way they could get those jets to not come close to KSC
for the landing so that we could hear the actual sounds of the orbiter
(if any) ? |
