I was watching it on Good Morning America. Couldn't help a few tears from leaking out after first the rear landing gear touched down, then front landing gear - whew!
I was wondering about the sonic boom. Thanks Richard. Just wish I could have heard it too.
My favorite report was on public radio. One of the reporters who are "assigned" to NASA news was saying how the crew of the shuttle and the ground crew are so well trained, and have gone over and over what to do next, that it's hard for us "lay" people to understand how they do it without feeling emotion. He said he can hear the emotion in their voices, it's just an ever so slight crack at the beginning and end of their statments, like when the ground crew said "Welcome Home", then Eileen said "Thanks" you could hear the relief, but then they're immediately back to business.
