HOMECOMING

Darkness

enshrouded Endeavour

as it touched down

on Runway 15

Homecoming!

After 14 days in space,

Endeavour's mission

was completed on orbit 217. 

Crew installed the Tranquility node.

A cupola

with a breathless panoramic view of Earth

and celestial objects. 

Soichi whispered:

«In there

The view is out-of-the- world!»


But greater than this, it  is...
Homecoming!
