Re: Atlantis de-orbit burn...
Yep, she's finally coming home after an amazing mission.
Recently I watched a video where one of the Space Shuttle pilots spoke of how difficult it is for them to apply the brakes upon landing. He said after a week or two in zero-g it's pretty tough to lift your feet to apply the brakes. ;-)
