NASA TV: Video of space shuttle Atlantis final rollout to launch pad
NASA TV: Video of space shuttle Atlantis final rollout to launch pad NASA is finishing its 30-year space shuttle program to concentrate on missions to asteroids and Mars, destinations favoured by the White House.

Thunderstorms threatened to delay NASA's last space shuttle launch scheduled for Friday, with lightning striking near the pad as astronauts descended on Cape Canaveral by the dozens on Thursday, the eve of the historic final shuttle flight. Despite a 70 percent “no-go” forecast, as shuttle weather officer Kathy Winters said at the news conference on Thursday, senior managers said they would try for an on-time launch of shuttle Atlantis anyway.
