The Atlantis returned to Earth early Thursday, marking the end of the space shuttle era when its wheels touched down for the last time at the Kennedy Space Centre.
The shuttle’s parachute slowed it to a stop on an illuminated runway before dawn as hundreds of NASA employees and guests gathered at the space centre and at mission control in Houston to witness the historic moment. They were greeted by a sonic boom as Atlantis flew overhead.
After serving the world for over 30 years, the space shuttle has earned its place in history. It’s come to a final stop.
