CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Space shuttle Endeavour returned to Earth on Tuesday, ending a nearly two-week orbital drama.
The space shuttle swooped out of the partly cloudy sky and touched down on the runway at 12:32 p.m.
"Congratulations. Welcome home. You've given a new meaning to higher education," Mission Control told commander Scott Kelly and his crew, which included teacher-turned-astronaut Barbara Morgan.
The main concern for much of the mission was the gouge to Endeavour's protective tiles. NASA did not want the shuttle to suffer any structural damage that, while not catastrophic, might require lengthy postflight repairs.
Over the past few days and right up until landing, NASA had stressed that the 3 1/2-inch-long gouge in Endeavour's belly would not endanger the shuttle during its landing. In 2003, a damaged wing on shuttle Columbia had allowed hot gases to seep in during the re-entry, tearing the shuttle apart.
