The landing of Space Shuttle Atlantis Mission STS-125 this morning 11:39EDT at Edwards Air Force Base runway 22. The crew returns after an amazing Hubble Telescope repair mission to give us more images like these: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap090524.html
Interesting stats from NASA, the Shuttle went from 234,000 feet to landing in just 21 minutes. During its gliding phase it descends at about 250 feet PER SECOND, that’s like being on one heck of a never-ending roller coaster big drop.
