During a sensational sunrise on flight day 13, Terry backed Endeavour away from the station and flew a giant loop around it before rolling out and pulling away. I couldn't believe my eyes as we watched the colors of the sunrise against the solar panels of the ISS with a perfect shadow of the shuttle just resting in the corner of our view. Later in the day, they performed another heat shield inspection with the robotic arm and began preparations for landing. On flight day highlights this morning, NASA showed footage of the crew sleeping on the middeck...my friend commented that they looked like a bunch of bats hanging from the ceiling. One day to go before landing!
Terry, Godspeed on your journey back to terra firma. Now PUSH it up! Stacy, you've done an awesome job keeping all of us updated. I can't believe it's been nearly 2 weeks since we watched Terry and the crew zoom into orbit. Can't wait to see ya'll back home again. Love, The Day's
