Too bad the reporter won't shut up.

I feel quite emotional, is that a little odd? The whole thing started before I was born!

As has been said before in this thread

Almost 42 years and 1 day since Neil Armstrong said "This is one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" I can't help but feel today was a giant leap back in space exploration!

Sad to see the retirement of the space shuttle fleet

James Webb telescope, but massively over budget. IMO if they cut it it will be a farce. they NEED to get it up.

Congratulations to the crew of Atlantis and everyone involved in the mission.

Goodbye Atlantis great job done!

Farewell to the space shuttle era, the memories will stay with us till our dying days!
