Got to watch on CNN over on the Editorial side. They had some great views I haven't seen before, including a pilot's view out the windscreen showing the HUD :!:

Glad to see they returned safe and sound.

I saw that HUD camera shot on the last landing at Kennedy Space Center - it's an awesome view!

Is there a link to it somewhere?

There was also this other video I saw a couple years ago....the camera was on the belly of the shuttle as it took off.....probably the most amazing footage of anything I've ever seen.

My brother and I were cruising channels and went past MSNBC and CNN at the exact moment the shuttle passed over the numbers and went right back to watch it land.

I think that camera is on the external tank. I've seen it several times now. I think they started using it when they returned to flight following the Columbia crash - it's intended to allow engineers to look for any ice/foam pieces that might hit the orbiter, but it makes for an incredible view of the launch!

Very glad that they made it home okay, that "hole" in the tile really had me concerned.
