Ahh. My favourite landing view. HUDCam. Shame it's night.

Touchdown. Fair seas and following winds, Endeavour. We thank you for 122 million miles and 25 missions. Long may you be remembered.

Congratulations to the crew of Endeavour and everyone involved in the mission.

Farewell Endeavour great job done!

Aye, it's been a good mission. Although pretty soon she'll start wondering why she isn't moving anywhere

Obligatory:

Home for the last time:

Endeavour flew 25 missions, spent 299 days in space, orbited Earth 4,671 times and travelled 122,883,151 miles. Not a bad record.

Anyone else notice the APU vents on either side of the tail fin venting hydrazine (so I've been informed!).
Can be seen in one of Simulatorman's infrared pics.

You couldn't help but notice it as Endeavour stood on the runwasy. The noise and flame, just like a dragon breathing flames.

For those who missed the mission, make a cuppa and watch this:

I think somethings gone wrong with the pics, they should not be taking this long
