  3. The shuttle's final flight

    The scheduled touchdown of the space shuttle Atlantis Thursday at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida marks the end of a 30-year era in the U.S. manned spaceflight program. The space shuttle Columbia first flew in 1981, and since then the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has completed 135 missions aboard the delta-winged space planes, which have carried into orbit everything from classified military satellites to the Hubble Space Telescope and components for the International Space Station. After NASA technicians remove its engines and spruce it up inside and out, Atlantis will go on display alongside the three remaining shuttles in well deserved retirement at museums around the country.
