Happy "Last Shuttle Flight " day !

[SolarLiner]

Happy day everyone ! 2 years ago, Atlantis in its STS-135 mission, left off launchpad, bringing to an end my favorite space program.

Here is an Orbiter video I made about it (still WIP, full will be released on 21th, guess what date it is ? )

I neven seen a launch IRL, but the videos (and my great sound system with its good subwoofer) says it all: it must be amazing - and loud.

Here is another video I found, from the Discovery Science Channel:

So, don't blow shuttles today and make great orbits !

Aren't both videos the same video? Though the videos are good!

Went to look on Altantis's Wikipedia page and I found this awesome pic of Atlantis transitting the sun:

And an awesome pic of a night landing

And one of it in it's final resting place at the NASA Kennedy Visitor Center
