EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, California (Reuters) - The space shuttle Discovery touched down safely on a landing strip in California's Mojave Desert on Friday at the end of a 14-day resupply mission to the International Space Station.
NASA diverted the spaceship to Edwards Air Force Base after waiting in vain for two days for rain and clouds to clear over the shuttle's home base in Florida.
The shuttle landed at 8:53 p.m. EDT on Friday (0053 GMT on Saturday).
