Today marks the final landing for the 27 year-old Discovery space shuttle. The near ceremonial event occurred at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Missions on the Discovery began in 1984, and total up 365 days worth of time spent amongst the Earth's atmosphere. The Discovery was the first of three shuttles to be retired this year, but among the trio it is the longest active. The final mission the Discovery performed involved transporting a storage room and supply to the International Space Station. NASA officials are to make a decision next month on where the retired shuttle will rest and be on display.
