The absense of posts in this thread no doubt reflects how well things have gone so far with the STS-114 mission.

I've been watching NASA TV via the web as much as possible during the past week and I'm planning on getting up early to follow the re-entry precedure. The return to earth schedule is here for anyone that's interested.

This is the first time that I've followed a Shuttle mission this closely and it has been really eye-opening to hear talk of server "U:" drives and dialogue about downloading camera memory cards etc. Eye-opening in so much as "I can actually relate to some of the technologies being used in space"!

Also, Canadarm - what an awesome piece of technology! That thing can "walk" the ISS like an inchworm (or a slinky)!
