taking a view from helicopter over the landing area we're 466 00:14:53,070 --> 00:14:53,080 helicopter over the landing area we're 467 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,390 helicopter over the landing area we're looking at some of the 380,000 people 468 00:14:56,390 --> 00:14:56,400 looking at some of the 380,000 people 469 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:02,450 looking at some of the 380,000 people gathered for the landing of discovery 470 00:15:02,450 --> 00:15:02,460 471 00:15:02,460 --> 00:15:05,220 discovery handled beautifully even 472 00:15:05,220 --> 00:15:05,230 discovery handled beautifully even 473 00:15:05,230 --> 00:15:06,480 discovery handled beautifully even though it's a two hundred thousand pound 474 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:06,490 though it's a two hundred thousand pound 475 00:15:06,490 --> 00:15:08,670 though it's a two hundred thousand pound lighter it responds very well to control 476 00:15:08,670 --> 00:15:08,680 lighter it responds very well to control 477 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:15,720 lighter it responds very well to control inputs we came subsonic overhead the 478 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:15,730 inputs we came subsonic overhead the 479 00:15:15,730 --> 00:15:17,610 inputs we came subsonic overhead the Edwards Lake bed in about forty thousand 480 00:15:17,610 --> 00:15:17,620 Edwards Lake bed in about forty thousand 481 00:15:17,620 --> 00:15:20,190 Edwards Lake bed in about forty thousand feet and dick coming took control for 482 00:15:20,190 --> 00:15:20,200 feet and dick coming took control for 483 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,110 feet and dick coming took control for about ten or 15 seconds and passed it to 484 00:15:22,110 --> 00:15:22,120 about ten or 15 seconds and passed it to 485 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,300 about ten or 15 seconds and passed it to me 486 00:15:23,300 --> 00:15:23,310 me 487 00:15:23,310 --> 00:15:26,400 me discovery Houston on centerline on glide 488 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:26,410 discovery Houston on centerline on glide 489 00:15:26,410 --> 00:15:31,520 discovery Houston on centerline on glide slope winds are calm looks real pretty 490 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:31,530 491 00:15:31,530 --> 00:15:34,350 flew the glide slope in the standard 492 00:15:34,350 --> 00:15:34,360 flew the glide slope in the standard 493 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,860 flew the glide slope in the standard orbiter approach about three hundred 494 00:15:37,860 --> 00:15:37,870 orbiter approach about three hundred 495 00:15:37,870 --> 00:15:38,670 orbiter approach about three hundred miles an hour 496 00:15:38,670 --> 00:15:38,680 miles an hour 497 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,620 miles an hour pointed down at the lake bed our sink 498 00:15:40,620 --> 00:15:40,630 pointed down at the lake bed our sink 499 00:15:40,630 --> 00:15:42,420 pointed down at the lake bed our sink rates about eleven thousand feet per 500 00:15:42,420 --> 00:15:42,430 rates about eleven thousand feet per 501 00:15:42,430 --> 00:15:44,400 rates about eleven thousand feet per minute then as we get to eighteen 502 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:44,410 minute then as we get to eighteen 503 00:15:44,410 --> 00:15:47,640 minute then as we get to eighteen hundred feet I pulled back gently on the 504 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:47,650 hundred feet I pulled back gently on the 505 00:15:47,650 --> 00:15:50,730 hundred feet I pulled back gently on the stick both to shallow the
