It was a beautiful entry this morning. 11 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:33,253 We've got the bonus of coming over the entire United States and it was just absolutely 12 00:01:33,380 --> 00:01:33,586 gorgeous. The entire entry track took us over the Rockies and over the Midwest, 13 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,973 and across the Mississippi Delta. And it was just a fantastic entry. 14 00:01:45,170 --> 00:01:45,720 The landing to get back here at Kennedy Space Center was really nice. 15 00:01:49,220 --> 00:01:49,360 It's a beautiful day and it was a great mission. 16 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,370 And we're just happy to be back here in Florida with Discovery. 17 00:01:55,390 --> 00:01:56,813 I'm going to let the rest of the crew come up and say just a few words. 18 00:01:58,700 --> 00:01:59,206 But thanks to everybody for all of their support. 19 00:02:01,460 --> 00:02:04,060 And we really appreciate it. Thank you. 20 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,389 James P. Dutton Jr./STS-131 Pilot: Well, it was just an incredible mission from start to 21 00:02:11,390 --> 00:02:16,390 finish. The launch, having an orbital sunrise during our ascent into orbit, 22 00:02:17,550 --> 00:02:17,673 it was incredible. We had our share of challenges up there, 23 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,556 but the larger team just did an incredible job supporting us and 24 00:02:24,430 --> 00:02:24,673 we owe them greatly for all they did for us. 25 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,720 So, to them, our thanks. 26 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,219 Rick Mastracchio/STS-131 Mission Specialist: Well, thanks, thanks for being here. 27 00:02:35,220 --> 00:02:35,250 We had a great mission. Like Jim and Dex said, we had our challenges. 28 00:02:39,790 --> 00:02:42,066 We had our EVA challenges where some of the hardware gave us a little bit of trouble. 29 00:02:43,180 --> 00:02:45,736 But I think we got all of the big tasks done and we're very happy with everything. 30 00:02:46,090 --> 00:02:47,090 Thank you. 31 00:02:51,910 --> 00:02:55,439 Dorothy Metcalf-Lindenburger/STS-131 Mission Specialist: Hi, I'm Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger, MS2 for the flight. 32 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:55,486 And what an incredible morning to be out here. I can't believe that a few days ago we 33 00:03:01,060 --> 00:03:02,420 were looking down on this part of the United States and it was just so beautiful. 34 00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:05,186 And I want to say thanks to all of the people that made this possible. 35 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:09,836 And we hope that we've made the International Space Station ready for future 36 00:03:14,590 --> 00:03:20,523 exploration. And I just, again, want to say thank you and it's great to be back on Earth. 37 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,276 Stephanie Wilson/STS-131 Mission Specialist: Hi, I'm Stephanie Wilson. 38 00:03:28,870 --> 00:03:30,770 And it's been an incredible journey. We had a great time. 39 00:03:30,770 --> 00:03:32,243 It was a wonderful mission. We enjoyed our time with the International Space Station. 40 00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:36,696 We were able to complete all of the mission objectives. 41 00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:38,433 And so, we're very grateful to all of the teams across our NASA and international partner 42 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:42,626 centers, especially Johnson Space Center and the Kennedy Space Center. 43 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:50,626 Thanks so much for readying Discovery for us and making her such a wonderful bird. 44 00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:53,253 Folks here work very hard and we're just very thankful to all of the teams that made this 45 00:03:55,060 --> 00:03:57,460 mission possible. Thank you so much. 46 00:04:04,420 --> 00:04:06,690 Naoko Yamazaki/STS-131 Mission Specialist: Hello, I'm Naoko Yamazaki, 47 00:04:06,750 --> 00:04:12,216 mission specialist of STS-131. It is such a great pleasure to be able to work with 48 00:04:13,890 --> 00:04:19,623 thousands and millions of people during the mission and during the preparation period. 49 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,746 And I'm so glad we could come back home safe. So thank you so much, I really 50 00:04:26,050 --> 00:04:27,716 appreciate it. (Japanese) 51 00:04:55,540 --> 00:04:56,799 Clayton Anderson/STS-131 Mission Specialist: Hi, my name is Clayton Anderson, 52 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:57,033 and I was MS5 on this flight and EV2, and was fortunate enough to have the opportunity 53 00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:04,243 to go outside three times. We had a lot of adversity, but we overcame it all with some 54 00:05:06,090 --> 00:05:06,423 great teamwork. It's been a wonderful experience for me. 55 00:05:09,490 --> 00:05:10,483 I've had two homecomings this flight. I got to go home to the International Space Station 56 00:05:14,430 --> 00:05:15,113 and now I get to come home to KSC. And to all of you who helped get us up and bring us
