Still one of the more beautiful technological wonders I've seen in this world! :awe:

I know these guys practice constantly in the simulators, but that still has to have some pucker factor involved.......knowing that you're basically in a gliding brick, and pretty much helpless to the laws of physics. I was watching that water in the foreground, before the end of the runway, and thinking, "Oh, that would SUCK landing there!!" :hmm:

And while we're at it, I wish Liveleak didn't put that annoying mute icon in the middle of the window.

I can't imagine what it must be like to land on earth after orbiting it. Must be amazing
