Behind Wetherbee (right to left) are Pilot James Kelly and Mission Specialists Paul Richards and Andrew Thomas. Behind Bridges, at right, is Dave King, director of Shuttle Processing. Waiting at far right is Jim Halsell, manager of Space Shuttle Program Launch Integration. The crew landed at the KSC Shuttle Landing Facility at 2:31 a.m. EST aboard Discovery following a 12-day, 19-hour, 49-minute mission to the International Space Station
