Today marks the end of an era. Today was the final launch of the American Space Shuttle Program. The shuttle Atlantis lifted off successfully from the Kennedy Space Center at 11:29 (EST) this morning. They'll deliver supplies to the International Space Station, and then return to Earth in 12 days. After that, all NASA astronauts will launch into space aboard Russian Soyuz spacecraft.
