The Last Space Shuttle Launch
23 August 2011
We took this photo of the space shuttle in December 2010. It shows the last space shuttle getting ready for the last launch from the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida. We we there in December 2010 to see it on the launch pad. Sadly we didn't get to see it launched live. We were a few months too early for that. NASA has discontinued the space shuttle program. By a strange twist of fate since the Cold War, the USA is currently getting Russia to launch the things they want into space.
