I have a feeling this is the last time we send people into space.

One day we will sail the gulf between the stars as our ancestors sailed the new and endless seas. As long as there is a new horizon to wonder what lays beyond. Mankind will continue to...Boldly go where no one has gone before.

Top three iPhone experiments on the Shuttle:
3) Evaluate AT&T network in low earth orbit.
2) Ensure can still stream Pandora while over North Korea.
1) Do Angry Birds fly the same way in a zero-gravity environment?

Atlantis will be bringing the first iPhone into space ...

I don't get it. An iPhone can be used on the Shuttle and the ISS, but not on a commercial airliner? What gives?

JFK ramped up our space program and Obama grounded it. How fitting. There’s got to be a good campaign ad there somewhere.
