The last trip

About an hour ago, after 30 glorious years, NASA’s Shuttle program came to an end with the final launch of the Shuttle Atlantis for its last mission to the International Space Station (ISS).

After it lands (hopefully safely) in a few days, Atlantis will join the remaining Shuttle orbiters (Endeavour, Discovery and the atmospheric test orbiter Enterprise –– which never went into space) on display for future generations.

The end of an era.
