Atlantis Landing & Sunita

I was awake till 2 AM on 23rd June to see Atlantis land. It was an wonderful spectacle worth been awake till that time. This time NASA allowed media coverage of this incident I guess, we got all details thru media, propbably to generate interest around the world in space realted areas.

was bit curious to know the technology behind all these, started reading from wikipedia. How space shuttle is different from normal commercial aircraft, what do you mean by space walk, de-orbit burn etc etc.

The way it was gliding thru the space after releasing from ISS it was reminding me of space curvature courtsey Eistein's General Theory of Relativity..

I am sure Sunita--you will be inspiration to many Indians.. nice to see family celebarte in Ahmedabad...

Best wishes Sunita for your next adventure may be to moon...
