NASA today said that STS-8 was 100% successful, and one flight controller said it was the ''best flight yet.'' The Challenger ended its 6 day, 1 hour, 8 minute, and 40 second flight at 0340 EDT this morning at Rogers Dry Lakebed, EAFB. Before the landing, the crew turned their cameras on and took the first ever unbroken movie of a complete pass around the Earth. Earlier in the day, one of the shuttle's computers became out of sync with a twin; 40 minutes later, mission control put it back on track but gave it secondary status for the landing.
