[Bamgerter] Before I get around to the poll, I want to thank each one of you.
And say on behalf of NASA I want to thank each of you and your colleagues for
all the support you have given over the years. And with that, I'm going to proceed
with the go, no go poll for the STS-135 launch. PDL go go two one zero and liftoff the
PDL... go.
MILA... go.
Dryden... go.
Wallops... go.
Marshall... go.
Goddard Ops... go.
2... 1... 0 and lift off. The
final lift off of Atlantis on the shoulders of the space shuttle, America will continue
the dream.

[Bangerter] I was extremely excited about it, of course, I tried to keep it bottled up
inside but at that point in time I was just very, very proud and very happy that
we were on our way. [Calhoun] I'm a part of something that very few
people get a chance to be a part of. [Clark] Afterwards you start thinking about and
you say, I'll never do this again. This is done. But I'm looking forward to a
new challenge. [Levin] It's going to be nice looking back and say hey I was apart of
that but having grown up with the shuttle it's sad to see it go.
[Blizzard] Just looking forward to the future,
focusing on the space station and visiting vehicles and we
still have a lot of work to do. [Booker] It's very enjoyable, challenging and
very rewarding. Work with a very good group of people. [Calhoun] I guess about two or
three years ago when it was announced this was going to be the last shuttle, no
one really believed it, they figured that something would come up and we're gonna
would have another shuttle and another shuttle but I guess all good things have
to end at one point.
