NASA video: Space shuttle Endeavour final landing


Space shuttle Endeavour and its six astronauts returned to Earth on Wednesday, ending the next-to-last mission in NASA's 30-year programme with a safe landing in the middle of the night. Bright lights illuminated the landing strip for the shuttle crew, who made the 25th night landing out of a total of 134 shuttle flights. Commander Mark Kelly brought Endeavour to a stop before hundreds of onlookers that included the four astronauts who will take flight in July on Atlantis, the last ever shuttle to go up in space.
