Space Shuttle Atlantis just landed safely back at Kennedy Space Center. I wish we could have been there to witness it.

You must know exactly when to look though, as you won’t be able to see the shuttle coming and it’ll fly right overhead.

Here’s a great video compilation of the STS-129 launch, compiled by NASA’s Systems Engineering & Integration (via Facebook):
