From Space
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011 09:26 pmI just got retweeted from space! By Ron Garan, ISS Flight Engineer Squeee!

I will be setting the alarm early tomorrow morning (only half-an-hour early) so I can watch Space Shuttle Endeavour land for the final time. She's due to land just before 2.30am Eastern, which is 7.30am UK time, ie when I'm usually still in the shower. If cross-winds at the Shuttle Landing Facility are a problem - as was forecast a few days back - then she can still land on the following orbit, around 4am Eastern, 9am UK time. Check out www.nasa.gov for details.
