CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida, Patrick Sullivan spoke on behalf of the Space Exploration Ambassadors during a ceremony to enshrine a Space Shuttle Program time capsule in a secured vault within the walls of the Space Shuttle Atlantis home at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Sullivan's remarks focused on the missions of shuttle Atlantis, the final launch day -- which he attended -- and the future of the space program. The time capsule, containing artifacts and other memorabilia associated with the history of the program is designated to be opened on the 50th anniversary of the shuttle's final landing, STS-135. The new $100 million "Space Shuttle Atlantis" facility includes interactive exhibits that tell the story of the 30-year Space Shuttle Program and highlight the future of space exploration.
