Astronauts thank Stennis workers

STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss. – NASA astronauts were at Stennis Space Center Tuesday afternoon to thank employees for their work. Five of the six members of the Space Shuttle Crew Atlantis flew to Stennis, where space shuttle engines are tested. The Atlantis returned to earth in late November. The crew's 13 day mission included a trip to the International Space Station to deliver supplies and bring one of the astronauts back home. The trip also involved three successful space walks.
