At 0912 EDT today, right on scheduled, the Discovery touched
down in a flawless landing at EAFB.  NASA officials initially
stated worry over a six inch track in the sand runway that
they feared was due to locked brakes; later, though, it was
announced that there was no brake damage on this flight --
the track was due to wet spots in the sand.  However, NASA
said that this landing was rough enough that had it been
at KSC, another blown tire would probably have resulted.
