Deorbit Burn Successful
17 July 2006 8:11 a.m. EDT
Shuttle Discovery has begun its deorbit burn, which will slow the
spacecraft down by about 302 mph, just enough to allow it to slip
back into the Earth's atmosphere. The burn, which lasted three
minutes and two seconds, places Discovery on schedule for a 9:14 a.m.
EDT landing at Kennedy Space Center.

I never dreamed that I would see the last.
