NOLS Welcomes Home Discovery Crew

Today at 9:14am EDT, Discovery crew STS-121 landed safely at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.  The crew conducted a successful 13-day mission to re-supply the International Space Station, drop off a new member of the space station crew, and conduct multiple space walks and repair exercises.  NOLS extends a congratulations and a warm welcome home to the entire crew returning safely to earth on a job well done.   In particular, we would like to welcome back NOLS alumni Colonel Steven Lindsey (Mission Commander), Commander Mark E. Kelly, Lt. Colonel Mike E. Fossum, Commander Lisa Nowak, and Dr. Piers J. Sellers as  NOLS grads in Space.
