On short final for 33 at the NASA-Shuttle Landing Facility. Landing-15 seconds and the gear is down and locked. Commander Alan Pointdexter is manually flying her to the touchdown point for a dead stick landing at somewhere between 214 to 226 miles per hour. A drag chute will slow her down to wheel stop. She looks dirty thanks to the fury of re-entry and high speed flight. Welcome home to Florida, Discovery!
