Up, Up and Away: Behind the Scenes of a Space Shuttle Launch
Blog: Trans-Americas Journey - 7 July 2011
It’s over.

No replacement space program has been fully developed yet, so Atlantis is carrying a year’s worth of parts and supplies up to the space station which, from here on out, will be served by the Russian space program until NASA develops a new way to reach the scientists working there.
