Atlantis lands safely, ending US Space Shuttle program

"Atlantis touched down for a final time Thursday, ending its last mission to the
International Space Station and bringing down the curtain on NASA's 30-year
space shuttle program.

The shuttle and its four-member US crew landed safely at Kennedy Space Center
at 5:56 am (0956 GMT), closing an era of human space exploration for the United
States and leaving Russia as the world's only taxi to the ISS."
