She sure is!

I've been hoping to catch some news, but nothing. Finally caught snippets of the landing this morning. Actually, they didn't show the landing and most probably them being off target may have had something to do with that, but I noticed that just about a couple of yards from the Soyuz capsure there was a small crater. That must have been quite a landing and I'd (along with a great many people) would have loved to have seen what the chute looked like and landing itself. All I thought was that it must have felt like semi had hit you and your car bounced and rolled to a stop. I remember last time they had a ballistic entry it was with Alegria's crew.

Yes, Peggy seemed to have handled the situation like a pro. Just walking so soon after the landing shows discipline. She deserves a medal imho and of course, I'm glad she's ok, or at least showed no signs of being in pain. Whew!
