The last flight (STS-135), featured Space Shuttle Atlantis. The era of the Space Shuttle is over. My father witnessed the dawn of the space age with the Mercury and Apollo programs. I think I just witnessed the end of the space age. Shuttle Atlantis landed on 05:56 EDT 07/21/2011. Will the United States ever have it's own capability of launching manned missions again? Sadly, I doubt it.
