Two weeks after it launched from the Florida space port, Endeavour returns with a sweet touchdown.
While at the station, the STS-118 astronauts performed four spacewalks to continue the world's biggest build in orbit.
Endeavour undocked from the station Sunday to end its almost-nine-day stay and began the trip home. This mission was cut short by one day due to Hurricane Dean. Landing early would permit mission control operations to continue in Houston without threat of the hurricane should it turn north.
Landing also brought to an end the first flight for Mission Specialist Barbara R. Morgan, an educator who was selected to become a mission specialist astronaut. She was first selected by NASA in 1985 as the backup to Teacher in Space Christa McAuliffe.
