    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    Looks like they chose Option "C" for KSC on orbit 238!

    I never get bored watching the landings (or liftoffs). There's always something a little different about each one. It's just a shame IMO that there are only 3 more flights left and that retirement is imminent thereafter.
