Watched on NASA TV. A near perfect end to a near perfect mission. As usual NASA TV spent too much time with the ground view and too little with the cockpit view. A too brief period showing the HUD imposed upon a lovely sunrise.

The end of the road for a magnificent technical accomplishment which failed only because it was designed to an impossible specification. That it worked at all says much for Max Faget and all who worked on it's design.
