Shuttle Endeavour has landed safely on Earth
Even though technology continues to progress, the shuttle's re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere still proves to be very difficult and dangerous. The small gouge on the bottom of the shuttle definitely made the landing a bit more interesting, but NASA was sure the atmosphere's extreme heat would not cause any danger to the shuttle.
It should be interesting to see how many repairs must be made to the shuttle due to landing it with the gouge.
I'm glad to see the shuttle has landed safely... now bring on the third manned shuttle launch of the year!
Cheers!
