Remembering the last ever NASA shuttle mission

We thought it fitting to remember today that the Space Shuttle Program has come to an end with a successful mission of the Space Shuttle Atlantis.

Although the manned shuttle program is over, that doesn't mean NASA has stopped innovating and sending craft into space. In fact, right now the Dawn satellite is in orbit of an asteroid passing close by the Earth.

Here's the launch and landing of Atlantis which is sure to become key historical footage of how we used to leave the Earth.
