The space shuttle Atlantis is making plans for its final descent back to Earth. Here is what Commander Kenneth Ham noted about Atlantis: "Atlantis is just a fabulous ship...If this ends up being space shuttle Atlantis' last flight, we've got an American flag here that we're honored to fly," According to NASA, this will be Atlantis's flight due to NASA tailoring back its program. Atlantis is scheduled to come home Wednesday.

Your avatar looks like he just got back from the Atlantis flight! I am very sad at the end of the space shuttle flights and hope it won't be too long before our space program once again includes men and women in flight!
