On the Bottom Half

First Landing Attempt.

You may have heard about some slight APU anomalies on board, but there's no problems that any of the managers or team members have expressed. STS-121 is currently go for landing, but there is some marginal weather that may scrub the first landing attempt today scheduled for 0914 EDT. There is one more attempt possible, 90 minutes later. They are not targeting any of the other landing areas at this time - today is a KSC only day. If they don't get down this morning, then tomorrow they will include Edward's Air Force Base as a secondary. Deorbit burn, weather permitting, is scheduled for about 13 minutes from now.

I'll let you know how it goes.

In other news, I stirred up a hornet's nest getting travel approval for Japan. They have the ball rolling to completely scrap the 6 months no-travel policy, all on account of me and my powerful friends!
