NASA’s space shuttle Discovery comes home in this incredible 2010 clip, touching down after a two-week mission.
The STS-131 crew brought it in over Florida’s Kennedy Space Center, gliding onto the runway with textbook precision.
They had spent days installing equipment and moving cargo around the International Space Station before heading home.
And the footage now has more than 5.6 million hits on YouTube, as viewers can’t get enough of watching the orbiter return to Earth.
