Blogger Note: This just in from the White House. It's a pool report from a journalist given access to the Oval Office when the president was talking with the Atlantis astronauts:
President Obama called the crew of the Shuttle Atlantis to congratulate them for successfully repairing the Hubble Space Telescope.
The White House decided late in the day to open it up to the pool. We went in at 5:45 p.m., and at the urging of the relentless young press sherpas, came out at 5:46 p.m. It was a close encounter of the brief kind.
Your pooler could only hear the POTUS, who was sitting at his desk in the Oval Office, speak all of two words: "incredible journey."
Lots of luck filing off this pool report.
The crew of the Atlantis, included Cmdr. Scott Altman, Mission Specialist Megan McArthur, who operated the robotic arm, Astronaut John Grumsfeld, Astronaut Mike Massimino and Astronaut Drew Feustel.
