Endeavour's final landing - some nice infrared video http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/videogallery/index.html?collection_id=14483&media_id=92278791&module=homepage |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Cool! I think the last launch (Atlantis in July?) will be very historic, in a backwards sorta way. Also, 2 notes after watching the video: 1) With all of the money NASA uses.....you think they'd be able to put up some stadium-brightness lights around the runway. 2) Thought the blinking yellow light on top of the shuttle at first was, well a light. Had no idea that it had bursts of flames after it landed...guess I've only really watched the day landings! |

1. They probably don't want to blind the pilot (just my guess) - his eyes are coming out of the darkness 2. Yes that really shows up on the IR video - is that exhaust from an APU (auxiliary power unit)? |

OK, at 2:03, it sure looked like flame in front of the vertical stabilizer.

Yes, I just looked it up - it is in fact APU exhaust and yes occasionally it ignites - no big deal. http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/feedback/expert/answer/mcc/sts-92/10_18_05_22_44.html
