Space Shuttle Atlantis Last Night In Space Orbit

techtribune writes "Tomorrow will be a bittersweet day for the crew aboard the NASA Space Shuttle Atlantis as they begin their return home to Earth. This will be the last space shuttle re-entry, the last landing, and the very last crew to pilot the shuttle in U.S. history. The Atlantis Space Shuttle undocked from the International Space Station (ISS) yesterday after delivering a lot of supplies, batteries, and other hardware to the station. They are bringing a lot of trash and everything else that needs to be brought back to Earth, as it's the very last opportunity for NASA to do so on its own." In a related topic, MarkWhittington wrote in with a story about why we stopped going to the moon and why there are no plans to go back.

    no gadgets required

    should it not be considered that the domestic threats to all of us/our
    freedoms be intervened on/removed, so we wouldn't be compelled to hide our
    sentiments, &/or the truth, about ANYTHING, including the origins of the
    hymenology council, & their sacred mission? with nothing left to hide,
    there'd be room for so much more genuine quantifiable progress?

    you call this 'weather'? much of our land masses world are going under
    water, or burning up, as we fail to consider anything at all that really
    matters, as we've been instructed that we must maintain our silence (our
    last valid right?), to continue our 'safety' from... mounting terror.

    meanwhile, back at the raunch; there are exceptions? the unmentionable
    sociopath weapons peddlers are thriving in these times of worldwide
    sufferance? the royals? our self appointed murderous neogod rulers? all
    better than ok, thank..... us. their stipends/egos/disguises are secure,
    so we'll all be ok/not killed by mistaken changes in the MANufactured
    'weather', or being one of the unchosen 'too many' of us, etc...?

    truth telling & disarming are the only mathematically & spiritually
    correct options. read the teepeeleaks etchings. see you there?

    diaperleaks group worldwide. thanks for your increasing awareness?
