Before leaving Runway 22 at Edwards Air Force Base in California, Commander Scott Altman spoke for his crew to thank everyone for getting them safely back home.
"At last! I didn't realize it was going to be so hard to get back to the Earth, landing here just felt great to everybody," said Altman.
"We're all thrilled to have the mission complete and it was a testament to the teamwork and cooperation of folks all across the country."
The STS-125 astronauts will be honored with a welcome home ceremony that will be held at 5 p.m. Tuesday at Houston's Ellington Field.
