EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif., Nov 30 (Reuters) - The space shuttle Endeavour glided to a smooth landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California on Sunday, returning to Earth from a mission to expand and renovate the International Space Station.

NASA rerouted Endeavour and its seven astronauts to California after thunderstorms and high winds prevented them from landing at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. (Reporting by Gene Blevins and Irene Klotz, editing by Jane Sutton)
