Val, on board Discovery 2, returns home from the first Mun orbit!  Landing just west of the KSC, some KSEA engineers are hopeful that some form of re-usable space craft might be possible, if it can be recovered so close to the Space Center!

Researchers begin pouring over the data brought back by Discovery 2, and the Kerbal Congress is extremely impressed by the feat!  Rumor has it monthly funding will be markedly increased in the near future!
