The Earth doesn't deserve them:

Wishing this fabulously competent—and joyful—crew a safe return to a planet that, frankly, doesn't deserve them.

1. Splashdown is tomorrow night!

I so enjoyed listening to the broadcast when they were on the dark side of the moon. Such professional, intelligent, polite, respectful discourse.

I LOVE watching coverage of events like this! It’s always amazing, inspiring, jaw-dropping, and more than a little humbling.

Brings back happy memories watching as a kid.

And I love the respect with which they treat other & their polite professionalism.

The world may not deserve, but needs those things desperately.

12. Great photo

Did anyone catch the call with Carney? What a contrast with the Trump call. As usual Trump rambled on about how amazing he is and his NASA administrator is.

Carney on the other hand was funny and engaging. He acknowledged the partnership with the US but the tone was also light at times (Nutella vs maple syrup). You could tell the crew was genuinely at ease with him vs a polite but obviously awkward interaction with Trump.
