Shuttle Endeavour has been cleared for the deorbit burn.  Night landing at the Kennedy Space Center here in Florida at 10:20 PM Eastern.  Watch it live on the feed in the first post of this thread.  Rare night landing for the shuttle and the last one that there will be.

Touchdown - safe and sound. These landings always make me very nervous after the loss of two!  :spooked:

I'll be driving to Central Florida for one of those two.  I'm not sure I'll be up to fighting the masses that will most likely be there for the last one, so maybe I'll head up there for Discovery's next launch.

it is kind of sad....I agree, I bet there will be a huge crowd that will follow these last missions.

Shuttle Atlantis returned home here in Florida for the last time this morning.  For those who may have missed it, here is a video of Atlantis' final landing at the Kennedy Space Center.  After "wheels stop" near the end of the video, listen to the voice of the guy at Mission Control in Houston as he praises the crew for the work well done.  Maybe it's me, but he sounded a bit wistful probably knowing this is one of the final times he'll be on CAPCOM for a shuttle landing.  Sad.   :'(
