[MrChum14]

I worked at JSC for the first 2 missions of this magnifcent craft in Avionics Itnegration laboraratory (Sail) and as an Englishman , I was truly honoured to work with some of the most inspiring people I have ever met in my life.

El fin histórico de una era. Hace menos de un mes estuve visitando el Kennedy Space Center

Opino que en lugar de Space Shuttle lo deberían haber llamado Orbital Shuttle o quizás , Earth Orbital Shuttle.

Sad to see the end of an era. Just before I was born, man first walked on the moon (7/20/69). I wonder if I will see humans walk again on another heavenly body in my lifetime, and if they will be Americans? If all goes as planned I will be 72 when America goes to Mars. Of course, we have been saying Mars is 30 years out ever since I was born. Goodbye to the shuttle program and thanks to everyone at NASA for inspiring a generation!

[Orca19904]

I was only 1 year old when the first shuttle was launched in 1981. I never thought this day would come. I actually saluted and shed a tear at wheels stop when I watched this live on CNN. I'll always remember the space shuttle program and never forget its legacy.

I was there at Houston space center watching from the auditorium!

[Plaayboarding]

russians flew with you now you fly with russians and in some years it perhaps is right the opposite again :)

[fuga1962]

... at night and without honour for a super machine (and the men behind). why?

[Gratch2222]

I gotta say, that's a little anti-climatic.

[bjkatmat]

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!! LET US CONTINUE TO EXPLORE SPACE!!! A NEW BEGINNING TO HOPES OF A BRIGHT FUTURE!

[radtimmie]

nothing is more incredible or more inspirational than manned space flight... i really truly hope someday, sooner than later, that we will see greatness at Kennedy once again. Congratulations Atlantis.

[heroineworshipper]

Outta cash.

[melindastrassekonig]

It's a sad moment that it's the last landing.

[richbah127]

Comes a new era...

[Bazzaland]

Excellent final flight to the historic program. Thanks for all the hard work in behalf of our country's space exploration efforts! Looking forward to the next era of manned space flight. :)

[Kingfordian22]

I can't believe they are canning manned spaceflight. I hope it resumes soon.

[mrsamplesvids]

What an amazing sight! Congrats, Atlantis!

[st31986]

...come to an end!

[blootoef]

Would of been great if it landed at day, does anyone know how they determine the time of landing?



[auroragal678]

Welcome back Atlantis! So sad the missions are over, thanks for inspiring the world.

[dave55853]

[Gary1111001]

@dave55853 It's a happy day too. The shuttle can't do it all. We'll move on to the the "next generation"

NASA said today:

"new astronauts won't get to ride on the shuttle....but they might walk on Mars."

"lets celebrate.......be happy"

[taffy3350]

genuinely brought a tear to my eye. Sad to see them go :(

[thedustyproductions]
