Discovery Shuttle Crew STS-114

Every­thing morn­ing of the work-week, I’m awak­ened by my clock radio. Usu­ally, the sounds com­ing from it are that of an espe­cially annoy­ing DJ. This morn­ing was a bit dif­fer­ent; there was a news anchor on the air giv­ing live cov­er­age of the shut­tle Dis­cov­ery mak­ing it’s way home. He said it would be land­ing in about 10 min­utes; so I hit the snooze button. :)

When the clock went off again, I got up, headed for my TV and found some live video cov­er­age of the event. I’d got­ten up just in time as the shut­tle landed safely a few sec­onds later. Wel­come home Dis­cov­ery crew and con­grat­u­la­tions to you and to all of NASA on a suc­cess­ful trip!
