The space shuttle Discovery fired its engines for a critical deorbit burn Tuesday, beginning the most critical phase of the shuttle fleet's return to flight after a 2 1/2-year gap.
There is no turning back. With the deorbit burn, the crew is committed to a course that will bring it down through a fiery atmospheric re-entry to touchdown at Edwards Air Force Base in California at 8:12 a.m. ET.
