Space shuttle Atlantis lands safely in Florida!

Congrats crew of Atlantis!

Am I the only person that still thinks going into and returning from space is still amazing?

In other Shuttle news, looks like NASA is sending a Nigerian teenager onto a zero-gravity flight. Kudos to NASA ! But if the money you spend on this were instead spent on a school for the kids in her village, wouldn't that be better in the long run? The PR just isn't as sexy I guess.

And why haven't I seen any offers to send up my kid? Guess I'll have to move to a third world country and apply.
