Re: STS-90 End of Mission

[Larry Faehling <lfaehl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanx to ALL the great folks who make this possible for all us.  I had the
opportunity to show this to a friend who didn't know this kind of thing was
available to the common man, and he was AMAZED.  (Then I tracked MIR, and
showed him the packet downlink in real time.  I wish I could post a picture
of his mouth hanging open; didn't have a camera handy.)  Couldn't do it
without you guys.  And best wishes to you, Dave, for a speedy recovery.  :-)
