Yes, Godspeed Atlantis.

Mostly obscured by clouds from my vantage point but there is a southbound airliner at altitude and perhaps we'll see a few passenger videos later in the day. Nice planning by that pilot :)

It has become strangely quiet. No transmissions for a minute now.

Have we witnessed our country's final manned space liftoff?

Enjoy your legacy Barak Obama.

CNBC’s ‘man on the scene’ almost got misty-eyed and apologized for feeling patriotic... Kudlow told him being patriotic was nothing to apologize about...

Final flight limited to 4 astronauts due to no backup aircraft.

Sad day for US space program.

I did not know that. I’ll bet if they asked for volunteers everyone would step forward without exception.

Does anyone know if we can buy/download the raw main-tank and launch tower camera footage of 135 and previous flights?

Or even the NASA channel feed raw?

Those would be the jobs he promised to keep when he held his “town hall” campaign stop in Titusville. Brevard, stand by for post-Apollo II.
