Commander Mark Kelly said "It's sad to see her land for the last time, but she really has a great legacy", shortly after touchdown.

That legacy includes carrying on where Shuttle Challenger leftoff.  Endeavour was built (largely out of spare parts) as a replacement after Challenger was lost in 1986 during launch.  The youngest member of the Shuttle fleet, Endeavour started flying in 1992. During its 19 year career Endeavour flew the first servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope, Docked with the Russian Space Station Mir, and delivered major components to the International Space Station including the "cupola" in 2010.

Next Endeavour will be processed for display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles.

As Endeavour flew its landing approach to the Kennedy Space Center, it passed over Space Shuttle Atlantis as it rolled out to the launch pad.  Atlantis completed its final rollout successfully under the watchful eyes of hundreds of United Space Alliance workers who were invited to see the event.  Atlantis is slated to fly the final mission of the Shuttle program on July 8th.
