Discovery Lands! from How I Am Becoming An Astronaut by Damaris B. Sarria
Discovery landed at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Touchdown occurred at 8:53 p.m. EDT. I'm glad the STS-128 crew made it home safely! To get Discovery back to Kennedy Space Center, a ferry flight atop a 747 carrier jet will occur in about a week. Given the heavy weight of the orbiter with the Leonardo module in its payload bay, four refueling stops and at least one overnight stop are planned.

WASP Maggie Gee awarded Congressional Gold Medal from You Fly, Girl by Cathy Gale
The Contra Costa Times had an article on Maggie Gee on September 11, 2009.
http://www.contracostatimes.com/columns/ci_13318138?nclick_check=1:
Maggie Gee is "small, soft-spoken," an 86-year-old woman who lives in Berkeley.
"You would have no idea from meeting Maggie that she's the powerhouse that she is," said Berkeley Councilmember Susan Wengraf. "She's had an extraordinary lifetime adventure."
Maggie worked as a shipyard welder and draftsman at the outset of World War II, learned to fly a plane when she was 18, earned degrees in physics and mathematics at UC Berkeley, lived four years in Europe and worked for nearly three decades as an accomplished physicist at Livermore Lab.
She received the Congressional Gold Medal as a member of the Women's Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs, who served in...
Papa Golf meets his maker... from The PapaGolf Chronicles by DaveG
Papa meets his maker? That sounds pretty ominous! But it's true only in a strictly literal sense; I flew Papa Golf up to Urbana this morning to attend the 42nd annual Mid-Eastern Regional Fly-In (MERFI) this morning. I don't go to many fly-ins anymore for various reasons, one of which is that it can be quite hectic in the landing pattern when a few hundred airplanes all converge on a quiet rural airport all at once, but I wanted to go this time because the guy that built 466PG was going to be there. I call him the guy that built my airplane and he calls me the guy that bought his airplane ...
