One-and-a-bit orbits left before the deorbit burn, and "perfect" weather at KSC according to NASA. After the plodding of yesterday once the live video stopped, it's getting exciting again.

The end of the mission means I'll have no excuse for not doing my Uni work. I made a start earlier today, I watched some more of the course DVD that I should've watched last week, but NASA TV won out there. It's odd that whatever short course I'm doing, I get interested in some other area of science rather than the one I'm studying. When I was doing my Astronomy and Planetary Science courses, I was getting really interested in human biology. Now I'm studying Genetics, and my mind is full of physics. Yesterday I received my welcome pack from the Institute of Physics, so I need to go through that properly as well as catching up on my Genetics course. But it's all super fun.
