Atlantis Departs ISS Leaves Challenge
An autographed space shuttle model and a U.S. flag flown on the first and last shuttle missions will remain on the International Space Station (ISS) to serve as a monument to the end of NASA’s shuttle program and a goal for its successor.
“This flag represents not just a symbol of our national pride and honor, but in this particular case, it represents a goal,” Ferguson said. “This flag will be flown prominently here by the forward hatch of Node 2, to be returned to Earth once again by an astronaut that launches on a U.S. vehicle, hopefully in just a few years.”

Another good question – another good answer.
Finally – where did my afternoon go?
Don’t click here.
And last but not least -
Does anyone buy this nonsense? (It almost fit into this post.)
Thanks to BobG for the links and don’t forget the shuttle lands this Thursday (7-21) at 5:57AM EDT at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. As always NASA-TV will be broadcasting and if you are at work that early you can watch it here.
