NASA's shuttle Discovery landed safely Tuesday morning after poor weather had thwarted two initial landing opportunities Monday. The orbiter touched down at Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 9:08 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, ending its 15-day mission to the International Space Station.

If only it had come the day earlier... it would have flown over Calgary, now that would have been something to see  - at Mac 28 I believe!
