| Discovery lands safely in Cape Canaveral |
| 2006-07-17 |
| Space shuttle Discovery and its crew of six returned to Earth through overcast skies Monday, ending a successful mission that put NASA back in the space station construction business. Discovery glided down through an overcast sky onto the Kennedy Space Center runway at 9:14 a.m., allowing NASA to declare total victory for the first time since before the 2003 Columbia disaster. It was so cloudy, shuttle commander Steven Lindsey couldn't spot the runway until about a minute before landing. |
