Atlantis lifts off on last space shuttle mission
July 8, 2011
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. - After a cliffhanger countdown, the space shuttle Atlantis thundered to life and majestically rocketed into history Friday, putting on one last sky show for spectators jamming area roads and beaches to witness NASA's 135th and final shuttle launch.
