About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
After more than 30 years, the space shuttle era has come to a close. Space shuttle Atlantis and the STS-135 crew landed safely on runway 15 at 5:57 a.m. EDT at Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility in Florida, ending a 13-day journey of more than five million miles. It was the final and 133rd landing in shuttle history. The STS-135 crew consisted of Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, Mission Specialists Sandra Magnus and Rex Walheim.

How did the venting of the APUs not cause a pitching in space? Or did they not vent like that while in orbit?

And now the voyage has ended. Many thanks to all the people who worked on the space shuttles. Love you guys!

Triumph and sadness in the same landing. We miss you NASA

Thank you Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour.

I'm happy that Atlantis is still with us here at the cape.

7/21/11, a day of history that we will never forget. A historic, but also sad day, that America will always remember.

And those jet engines are loud enough to hear 3 miles from KSC
-
I was actually at KSC When this happened, and I got to.meet Chris Ferguson
-
It will come back...

Cannot wait for Skylon and DreamChaser!
-
Despite being the last shuttle mission, the dream will never die.

The breaking up of the announcer's voice at 10:23 did it to me. I admit a tear came to my eye.
-
The final sonic booms are heard at 6:11. I'll never hear that again. :(
-
That blocky status board map looks a CRT display from a 1985 PAVE PAWS. Weird they didn't have something more up to date.
-
Beautiful words.
-
Wow
-
So sad
-
Atlantis landed on my birthday. People were on the moon several years before I was born in July much later
-
i remember i woke up early that morning, walked outside and looked west. and saw just barely a bright spot moving at an exceptional speed northeast. i knew i would never forget it. but i never knew how much of an impact it would have on me. sad day for all mankind.

10:22 You can hear the mission control announcer's voice crack as he says "its voyage, at an end" ;_;
