That's All She Wrote: The Last Shuttle Launch

From geekology, Well folks, that was that. When Atlantis reached for the stars this morning at 11:29 EST, it marked the last launch of NASA's 30-year shuttle program. *tearing open a freeze-dried ice cream in remembrance*

The breathtaking final launch of the space shuttle Atlantis was captured in an incredible photo snapped from an airborne training aircraft NASA uses to teach astronauts how to fly the winged spaceship [but will now be strictly for joyriding]

The flight is the final voyage of NASA's space shuttle program.

"Jesus, GW -- are you f***ing CRYING?" *sniff* You wouldn't understand -- I went to Space Camp TWICE.
