NASA Sets Dates For Space Shuttle Finale

Posted by timothy on from the oh-but-they-always-stand-us-up dept.

coondoggie writes "After some debate, NASA today said it has set the final two launch dates for its venerable space shuttles: Nov. 1 for space shuttle Discovery's STS-133 mission, and Feb. 26, 2011, for the liftoff of shuttle Endeavour's STS-134 mission. NASA said the dates needed to be adjusted because critical payload hardware for STS-133 will not be ready in time to support the planned Sept. 16 launch."

    I sure hope NASA does a better job with their finale, then the producers of Lost did with theirs.
