Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of the final Space Shuttle mission, so I decided to make a thread dedicating it with your own opinions on how you felt one year ago when this was happening, dedications and salutes to the shuttle program, or your own personal experiences if you where in attendance of the final launch. I personally was in attendance of the final space shuttle launch, there is nothing that can describe the atmosphere in the air beforehand. It was charged, excited and sorrow at the same time, and when Atlantis rose off the pad it seemed to do so with a majestic grace draped behind a grey sky that almost at the time seemed like the state of the space program. On July 21st, when Atlantis returned I was able to see it streak across the Florida morning sky enroute to KSC, and the ISS ahead of it. It was truly an incredible site, here are some of my pictures of the launch.
