Welcome Home, Discovery.

Space Shuttle Discovery Returns Safely.

Three things:

1. There seemed to be some smoke trailing from the wingtips as Discovery approached the runway. I don't remember seeing that before.

2. In all the coverage, there were lots of mentions of Discovery and Atlantis, but I don't recall any mentions of Endeavour. Has it somehow fallen off the radar?

3. It is sad that the shuttle program will end without there being a Space Shuttle Odyssey.

[Update: Museums are already squabbling over who gets to pick over the remains of the shuttle fleet. Vultures. Looks like the Smithsonian already has it's hands on Enterprise.]
