One year ago, a ship like no other enjoyed it's final moments of flight as it glided from low Earth orbit to the Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility, marking the end of STS-135 and of the Space Shuttle Program.
I got up extra early to watch this bitter sweet, but historic moment that I will certainly remember for a very long time.
