"It was the first space shuttle to perform an unmanned flight, including landing in fully automatic mode."

"[...] despite a lateral wind speed of 61.2 kilometres per hour (38.0 mph), it landed only 3 metres (9.8 ft) laterally and 10 metres (33 ft) longitudinally from the target mark."

That sounds pretty impressive.
