Space Shuttle Endeavour has just landed at the Kennedy Space Center after 16 days in orbit building the International Space Station on mission STS-123. Congratulations and Welcome Home to:
Dominic Gorie (Commander)
Gregory H. Johnson (Pilot)
Robert L. Behnken (MS1)
Michael Foreman (MS2)
Richard M. Linnehan (MS3)
Takao Doi (MS4, Japan JAXA)
An extra special welcome home goes out to Leopold Eyharts of the European Space Agency who is returning to Earth after about a month and a half onboard the ISS. NASA Astronaut Garrett E. Reisman launched with Endeavour and assumed Eyhart's position onboard the space station.
Five spacewalks, assembly of the Dextre robot, delivery of the first portion of the JAXA pressurized modules for the ISS; no doubt, a finest hour in space exploration!!!!
"[I]f we fail, then the whole world,…all that we have known and cared for…will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that…men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'”
