Shuttle Endeavour pulled away from
the international space station this evening and headed for home
after a heartfelt farewell between the two crews.
It culminated 12 days of shared work, the longest mission ever
of its kind.
The 10 space travelers performed a record-tying five spacewalks,
put together a space station robot and provided a new Japanese
compartment for the orbiting complex.
Endeavour is due back on Earth on Wednesday evening. It will
wind up a 16-day trip for the shuttle.
