Caption: Space shuttle Endeavour taxis at Edwards Air Force Base; arrival Nov. 30, 2008; concluding the STS-126 mission... This image captures Endeavour's drag chute as it deployed as the shuttle touched down the base's Runway 4.

Endeavour's landing delay, due to weather, was carefully monitored at a variety of landing options. #1 preferred: Kennedy (shuttle's home base) #2: Here in California (Edwards AFB); and #3: White Sands Space Harbor (New Mexico.)

Video a Perfect Touchdown: HERE

Actually, arrival images are still in camera; and may post something later (depending) :| ...Then departure to Grandmother's!

The crews at the ISS continue to develop more and more that will help improve effects of adaptability for future colonization...
It seems logical that the human body is also restructuring as well...

We've come a long way...
