After landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California on Sept. 11, space shuttle Discovery is about to start its cross-country journey back to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

EDWARDS, Calif.: Space shuttle Discovery and its crew of seven astronauts ended a 14-day journey of more than 5.7 million miles with an 5:53 p.m. PDT landing Friday at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

The Space Shuttle is expected to land in eastern Kern County just before 6 p.m. Friday night.

Mission Control ordered Discovery and its seven astronauts to aim for a Friday evening touchdown at Edwards Air Force Base, after bad weather prevented them from returning to Florida for the second day in a row.

Deteriorating and unstable weather conditions in eastern Florida have led space shuttle mission managers to call off Thursday evening's scheduled landing of Space Shuttle Discovery at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Hot enough for you? I'm really done with this summer on many levels. Bring on El Nio.
