Atlantis Headed Home

Space shuttle Atlantis undocked from ISS this morning and is scheduled to land on Thursday at Cape Kennedy.

With that landing, the space shuttle era of spaceflight will be over. The shuttle did not achieve the goals of the program, for various reasons, but it did give us a glimpse of a future based on reusable spaceships. The challenge now is to reach that era as quickly as possible.
