@mat2coy I think it might even be on live tv considering thats a big historical event of the last shuttle launch and they will prolly have to do one again someday even though they are retiring them they might need it bad one day. thanks for telling me bout seeing it on their website if I dont go I will certainly be watching it.

Im really sad to see them go as well but correct me if im wrong the last launch will be from florida and im trying to go and see it and im also trying to bring the family I have never seen a launch in person and would love to be able to say to my grandchildren one day lol that I saw the last shuttle launch as that part of history.

Hey mate. the External Tank is Empty at this point. When the Shutte is around 6-8 away from Liftoff thats when they fuel it. When the next launch is on. You can watch it on Nasa's website on there Multimediapart. So you can say that you have seen the last couple of Space Shuttle missons ever. Really sad to see them go.

WOW !!!! Glad I found this subscription and a couple of others. Up close and personal !!! I grew up living within a couple of miles of Grumman so we heard them testing the L.E.M. engines and saw it being hauled out late and night, I finally saw a launch, STS-132 Atlantis from Titusville and this only adds to my resume. Thank you
