CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- After the successful liftoff of space shuttle Atlantis on the STS-135 mission, hundreds of shuttle workers gather for a party at a tent beside the looming, 525-foot-tall Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. STS-135 is the final flight of the agency's Space Shuttle Program. Atlantis, with its crew of Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim, lifted off at 11:29 a.m. EDT on July 8, 2011 to deliver the Raffaello multi-purpose logistics module packed with supplies and spare parts for the International Space Station.
