-It's Thursday July 21, 2011.
I'm Wilson Tang on CNET.com and it's time to get loaded.
This morning, the space shuttle Atlantis landed 5:57 a.m.
marking the 135 and final flight of the space shuttle program.
The mission was commanded by Christopher Ferguson with 3 other NASA astronauts who have come to be known as the final 4. By almost all accounts, the flight was virtually flawless.
Astronauts delivered supplies and equipment
to international space station while also performing a space walk to fix a broken cooling pump.
For now, visitors to the space station will have to rely on Russian Soyuz space flights while NASA begins to work on its next manned spacecraft.
