They must be hosting Tweaky's piccies

BBC Site was fine - less brits give a **** about the Shuttle.
Infrared camera with "auto tracking" must have been designed by someone with Parkinsons

I watched it on the tv and it was dark so you couldn't see much although they used a heat seeking camera gizmo thingy which was nice. It was excellent watching it appear as a tiny blurry dot and slowly turning into the recognisable shuttle shape. It appeared to be a very smooth landing from what I could see through the dark

Comment of the day for me was
"she may be-able to glide a shuttle from 200 miles away but can she reverse park in the supermarket"
