Endeavour Returns to Earth

The Endeavour space shuttle returned safely to Earth early Wednesday, ending the penultimate mission in NASA’s 30-year space shuttle program.

The 16-day mission, which included the installation of a $2 billion cosmic ray detector at the International Space Station, was the last for Endeavour. After decommissioning, the shuttle will be housed at a museum in California.
