Space shuttle begins long trip home

Wow--an absolutely stunning pic of the International Space Station accompanies this article over on MSNBC.

An AP newswire article, via MSNBC, reports that:

Space shuttle Discovery began its long trip home early Saturday, undocking from the international space station after a nearly nine-day visit.

There were hugs and handshakes as Discovery’s astronauts said their goodbyes to the astronaut and cosmonaut who live aboard the international space station. The crews then closed the hatches between the ship and orbiting lab.
