Nothing Seen. The small SOHO image on Space Weather is still indicating Group 998 but I can’t find it on the high resolution image.

I haven’t seen much of this Shuttle mission but did get a chance to see the landing this morning and post mission briefing this afternoon. It was interesting that there was a lot said at the press conference about moving into a ‘learning to live in space mode.’ I saw part of the first EVA and it seemed like there was more direction of the activities from space than there has been on previous missions.
