A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Now looking increasing like the return will be Sunday, the first window today has been rejected and the weather at Kennedy is not getting better.

I agree it is absolutely unbelievable the lack of interest shown by the media
They've go enough on their their hands at the moment with trying to
glean every last drop of information on the Katie/Peter split up - or not.

Damn, they took the handbrake off at 3pm and landed just before 5, and I was out working.

It was a beautiful textbook landing (apart from the fact they rolled to a halt 3000 miles from home!)

NASA claims the cost of some $2.3M bill to fly them back. :confused

As it's late in the day, why not try a takeoff with a few gallons of fuel - maybe with a tow - or find a haulier willing to cut the wings off and stick it on a lowloader.
