It's possible to ear the live comms with the ground and the shuttle ? That TV don't give that really.

Thanks

I'm watching NASA TV since this morning (GMT+2)... I saw the mid night and the sun rising around the KSC... Was nice !! Godspeed Endeavour!!! The last launch of Endeavour ...
Yeah me too but I was starting to zone out at about 5am EST. So I had to take a nap until 7am EST. Didn't want to do it but just too tired, 24 hours up is just too much.
Godspeed Endeavour

Wonderful launch at this end! Hard to accept, but this is Endeavour's last mission. One last mission to go.

Today (May 27) marked the 159th spacewalk devoted to International Space Station assembly and maintenance since construction began in 1998, the eighth so far this year. U.S., Russian, European, Japanese and Canadian astronauts have logged 1,002 hours and 37 minutes of EVA time at the station.

Astronauts Mike Fincke and Greg Chamitoff spent more than seven hours outside the International Space Station this morning transferring the shuttle Endeavour's 50-foot inspection boom over to the lab's truss. The boom will help the station's robot arm reach further if needed in the future.
The spacewalkers also installed a new grapple fixture on the boom and removed bolts from a spare arm for the station's Dextre robotic handyman, accomplishing all the major objectives of the EVA.

Endeavour inside the Entry Interface, slowing down through a series of rolls and roll reversals. With hundreds of (simulated) Shuttle hours behind us, we already know that routine, eh?  8)

Twenty minutes to Endeavour's last touchdown.

Endeavour has touched down at KSC for the last time.

Sad moments for all of us, Space Shuttle and NASA fans around the world.

Endeavour will keep flying however with us and the SSMS/SSMS2, reminding us what a beautiful and sophisticated machine she was.

Chapeau to to her, to the NASA teams who supported her during her many missions, and of course to her past crews.

Chapeau to her last crew.

See you Endeavour at the museum!

Nice! I've don't recall ever seeing footage like that from a non-USA ground position.. Seen it many times from the cockpit's perpective.
