Fully Stacked Space Shuttle Atlantis leaving the VAB for the final time as STS-135

From the archives!

Atlantis on her final rollout 🙁 from the VAB. It was a great honor ❤️ to be in the VAB at the time to take this photo.

She would ride a pillar of thrust…over 7.5M lbs worth…for the final time on July 8th, 2011.
