The Last Three Shuttle Launches Ever
NASA review boards yesterday approved new launch dates for what will be the last 3 flights of the space shuttle ever, so if you've never seen a shuttle launch and want to, these are the times to try to be here as of now*:
STS-133 Discovery - Thursday, February 24
STS-134 Endeavor - Tuesday, April 19
STS-135 Atlantis - Tuesday, June 28 **
* As always, delays due to weather and damages are possible and so these dates are never set in stone
** Atlantis's final mission is currently just scheduled as the launch on need rescue mission in the event there is a catastrophic damage to Endeavor during STS-134, however there is paper currently undergoing approval in congress to change this to an actual mission.
