Space shuttle Atlantis has completed its two day flight from California to Florida-- with stops in Texas and Mississippi-- atop its 747 carrier aircraft.
The pilot of the 747 took Atlantis on a kind of victory lap up and down the Florida Space Coast before landing at Kennedy Space Center. Onlookers were delighted, but the lap may have been bittersweet, as well. That flight could easily have been the last time a space shuttle is brought home to Kennedy in that way.
