Eventual fate?

Remaining Missions

We've got a Remaining Missions section that lists only the Launch on Need mission, and we've got a Flight Listing table that includes STS-135, which hasn't launched yet. I recommend including the LON in the table, with an "if necessary" caveat, and removing the Remaining Missions section. Also, I'd like to add a note to the table that STS-135 is somewhat tentative. Basically cribbing the text from STS-135 - "While the mission has been authorized, it has no appropriation in the NASA budget, raising questions about whether the mission will fly at all. As of 13 February 2011 managers have told their workforce that STS-135 will fly “regardless” of what happens with the funding situation via the Continuing Resolution." And while I'm at it, I'll delete the existing notes (NET and TBD), as they're not used anywhere. Thoughts? Khakiandmauve (talk) 19:54, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:RadioFan removed the footnote that STS-135 has been approved but not yet funded. The last news report I was able to find, dating from March 24, 2011, still had it in doubt. http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/story_channel.jsp?channel=space&id=news/asd/2011/03/24/13.xml&headline=Atlantis%20Crew%20Prepares%20For%20Last%20Shuttle%20Mission Has there been something new? Maybe in the recent news with the budget battles, I've missed it. Absent a source, I'm planning on changing it back tomorrow. Khakiandmauve (talk) 21:42, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:STS-132 Liftoff Space Shuttle Atlantis 1080i.ogv to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:STS-132 Liftoff Space Shuttle Atlantis 1080i.ogv will be appearing as picture of the day on March 28, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-03-28. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! —howcheng {chat} 16:46, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

The Space Shuttle Atlantis launches to begin the STS-132 mission in May 2010. STS-132 was initially scheduled to be the final flight of Atlantis, but it later flew on STS-135—the last mission of the Space Shuttle program—in July 2011.Video: NASA

New Image

Would someone be willing to add this image? The formatting of the gallery confuses me, so maybe someone else can add it:
