<p>Shuttle Pilot Mark Kelly, USMMA class of 1986, fired up steering jets and backed Discovery away from the international space station today to begin the space shuttle crew’s return trip to Earth. There will be one more safety inspection, then hopefully the shuttle will head back for a Monday landing.
