Updates STS-132 Updates

Atlantis now has less than 1 week to go until its final launch. :(

The end of the Shuttle Program is really starting to hit home now. It doesn't look like we're going to get an extension. I think it's really going to happen. :cry:

Space shuttle Atlantis will fly some very special "beads of courage" for children fighting life-threatening illnesses:

-Y OWP have now been retracted for launch.
 
Alright everyone lets get this mission ready to roll, Pete could you give launch coverage on this site? I might chime in, as my entire school (and I'm not even kidding, all over the state) are stopping their lessons all day to watch Atlantis one last time.. I've never seen that.. glad to see some enthusiasm for the space program.
 
Kyle: I'll try to post whenever a major milestone is reached, providing my connection holds out (which it usually doesn't)! ;)

I'm feeling kinda sentimental right now. One half of me can't wait to get Atlantis off the ground tomorrow, and the other half of me is dreading seeing her rise into the sky for the final time. Anyone else feel this way?
