The Space Shuttle Discovery and its crew glided home after a 13-day, five million-mile journey in space. Mission STS-121 succeeded in testing shuttle safety improvements, repairing a rail car on the International Space Station and producing never-before-seen, high-resolution images of the shuttle during and after its July 4th launch.
