Space Shuttle 'Discovery" returns to Earth after wrapping up her 39th and final mission, a milestone marking the beginning of the end for NASA's winged space ships. Commander Steven Lindsey took over manual control and guided the 204,000-pound Discovery through a speed reducing 250-degree left turn to line up on runway 15. The very loud twin sonic booms heralded the end of Discovery's long and distinguished space flight career.
