Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Robert Pearlman: [B]<img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/sts124_landing07.jpg" WIDTH="500" HEIGHT="375"> The STS-124 crew, including returning ISS flight engineer Garrett Reisman (upper right), exited the crew transport vehicle to be greeted by NASA and JAXA officials. Commander Mark Kelly (upper left) then led his crew on the customary walk-around of their spacecraft, Discovery (without Reisman, who returned to the transport van). Before leaving for crew quarters, Kelly made a few brief comments for NASA TV. <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]It is great to be here on the runway in sunny Florida and it is great to bring Discovery back in great shape. The vehicle is in really good shape, which we always like to see it that way. It is a great day here. We had a really exciting mission that from our point of view was very successful and we're really glad to be involved in the space station, a bigger and more capable place. We installed a Japanese laboratory that pretty soon here we are going to start to do a lot more science on space station with, did three spacewalks and exchanged the crew of the space station. It was really an exciting mission. We're glad to be back here in Florida. Thank you![/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> A press conference with the crew is scheduled for 3:15 p.m. CDT following the post landing press briefing at 12:30 p.m.[/B][/QUOTE]
