It's great to be back here at Edwards in California. 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:53.000 It's just great to be back on planet Earth right now,and we had a wonderful mission. 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.000 I would like to thank, especially, our lead 00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.000 flight director, Kelly Beck, and all the great folks working in Mission Control. 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:05.000 There were a lot of challenges on this mission, and they were all 00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:10.000 surmounted and all the solutions worked well, and we had a very successful 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:20.000 flight.

It's a beautiful day, obviously, and it's a 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.000 great place to land the shuttle. We're very proud that the mission is complete. 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.000 We got the mission done, we brought the orbiter back in great 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.000 shape and we're here safe and sound at Edwards, and just want to thank 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.000 everybody, not only here at Edwards for covering us today and catching our 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:45.000 orbiter, but also the folks back at KSC as well as JSC who helped make 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:57.000 STS-117 a very successful mission. Thank you very much. 00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.000 Patrick Forrester: I just wanted to say how great it is to be here at Edwards, 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:04.000 to come back from this mission that we flew. It was back when I was a captain, 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.000 I was stationed here and I used to come down every time the shuttle would 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:10.000 land here and I never thought that maybe I might actually be on it landing here. 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.000 We appreciate all the great support that we got back in Houston, and 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:18.000 those that stood up at KSC and then, of course, those that, when we arrived here. 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:26.000 So thank you very much. 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.000 Steve Swanson: Hello.

Thank you. 00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:45.000 DANNY OLIVAS: Good afternoon. Hi, Danny Olivas, and I just want to 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:52.000 thank the entire NASA family and all of the support folks that have given us 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:57.000 an excellent opportunity to conduct a very successful STS-117 mission, 00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:03.000 as well as the Expedition 15.
