re: The special vehicle. - Yes, Raoul, I see it.
They just showed a different angle before going to Atlantis' touchdown tape and from that view, the shuttle-bus(?) wasn't attached to the orbiter yet. I understand that it would be used by Suni, but the six guys should still do the walk-about. Do they enter that vehicle first to be checked out?
I've seen lots of liftoffs, but it's been a while since I've followed a shuttle mission from beginning to end. :}
I saw STS-89's liftoff in person and followed that one until it landed at KSC.
Anyways, we're standing by over here. :) My daughter saw the landing with me.
Thanks.
(yeah, space junkies)
