Scott Altman/STS-125 Commander: Alright, well, when we got down to Florida,
I looked at everybody and said,
'At last!' I didn't realize it was going to be so hard to get back to the Earth in the end.
So again, I guess I say the same thing, 'At last!' We're back on the ground.
It's great to be here at Edwards Air Force Base and NASA Dryden.
Having this facility for us to come home to today is just awesome.
It was beautiful weather. We saw the field from about 100 miles out.
And landing here just felt great to everybody.
So we're all thrilled to have the mission complete.
It was a testament to the teamwork and cooperation of folks all across the country.
And we want to express our thanks to everybody. Especially to Edwards,
for all the folks who supported us, providing us a place to land and
aren't too upset about us taking up their runway for a few hours today.
So again, thanks to everybody. We're going to go do some baseline data collection,
jump in the van and head off to do that. So have a great day.
We're thrilled to be here. It's beautiful. Thank you so much.
