Space shuttle Endeavor makes final landing

Space shuttle Endeavor ended its last mission with a safe return to Cape Canaveral in Wednesday’s pre-dawn darkness.

Commander Mark Kelly – whose wounded wife Rep. Gabrielle Giffords remained in a Houston rehab center during the landing – noted the craft’s enduring “legacy.”

“Your landing ends a vibrant legacy for this amazing vehicle that will be long remembered,” he said. “It’s sad to see her land for the last time but she has a great legacy.”
