The space shuttle Endeavor is to return home today "confident that a hole in the spacecraft's heat shield won't cause any problems"

This is very similar to the probles Columbia faced when it blew up on reentry.

Landing is scheduled for 12:32 p.m ET at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral.

Wish them godspeed. Our space program can't withstand another disaster.

It landed safely, thankfully :)
I heard the sonic boom as it flew over south florida on its way to the cape,, That was too cool!!! It was cloudy so i couldnt see it. What a bummer..
I also have NASA TV with my DirecTV dish, so i have been watching the whole flight and what they do up in orbit, its been very educational. :)
