From the White House Oval Office, President Obama spoke with the four Atlantis astronauts of STS-135, the final space shuttle mission, and the six Expedition 28 residents of the International Space Station. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden joined the president for the call. Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley and Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim are on a 13-day mission to the ISS and are scheduled to close NASA's Space Shuttle Program with a landing at the Kennedy Space Center on July 21.

W. Bush ended the shuttle program, not Obama. However, Obama is a president with no vision of space. Space exploration has brought us enormous benefits in all sorts of knowledge and technologies .

Obama is a fucking terrible president and I cant beleive he wants to cut NASA's fucking shuttle missions. Every child for years has dreamed of being an astronaut but now all the inventions childhood dreams of children will be filled by cosmonauts and other countries as we let this cock sucking unlce tom ruin more of America's most prized possessions like NASA.

They say Obama brought the country together, but he only divided it. He said both wars will end, Guantanamo Bay will be closed, more jobs, the debt reduced. That's what he said in 2008, and he never did. The debt is higher, more people unemployed, war continues. All False promises, all lies so he can win again, and always changes sides, always. You want a true FREE AMERICA? You want better life? No income tax, no war, and peace? Vote for RON PAUL and life will be better for all!

We need to Launch as Many Space-Ships as Possible. There is no time to wait. We need to research what space does to the human body there and after arrival back to Earth. We need to name properly each Launch so people can understand. For example Atlantis Mission 1, STS-135. Atlantis Mission 2, STS-136. Atlantic Mission 3, STS-137.
