Earlier this evening, the STS-130 crew landed at Cape Canaveral and began the final leg of their journey. We went out to Ellington Air Base here in Houston to see them off and I have to say that it was really exciting. The jets were roaring on the Gulfstream and the crew members waved from the ladder as they jumped in. I barely had time to grab some dinner and get home before their arrival in Florida...not long after I walked in the door, there they were waving from the runway down at the Cape. Col Zamka gave a great little speech and they were whisked off to crew quarters for believe it or not, more training. I wonder if Terry will one day, long after this mission is wrapped up, sit around twiddling his thumbs?
