On Sunday, the space shuttle Atlantis undocked from the International Space Station (ISS) to head back home – completing what will probably be its final mission. Atlantis will land back on Earth Wednesday.
Now that the ISS is almost completely finished, NASA only has two more shuttle missions to wrap up its share of construction. Check out the photo below – the Space Station weighs over 816,000 pounds and is about 98% complete in terms of living space.

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Firefox. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Thanks
