Space shuttle Atlantis prepare for launch tomorrow on July 8, 2011. If the weather good enough and the sky s clear, they will launch the space shuttle which scheduled at 11:26 a.m. EDT. They predicted that 60% weather will interfere and on the next day the threat decrease up to 20%.

The space shuttle has 10 minutes chance to orbit the target. The International Space Station is passing overhead. The space shuttle scheduled at 11:02 a.m. in Saturday.

In a preflight interview, The Atlantis’ commander Astronaut Christopher Ferguson told that what have been a little difficult for the goodbyes in terms of round numbers the shuttle workforce is 6,000 right now. By the end of July it will be somewhere around 2,000 and a lot of people to say goodbye to in a short period of time.

The former space shuttle astronaut Duane Carey said that there is no embarrassment in setting the bar impossibly high and then failing to clear it. “What matters is that we strived mightily to do so — and we did strive mightily. The main legacy left by the shuttle program is that of a magnificent failure,” said Carey.

Charles Bolden, the administrator of NASA and also the former astronaut said that he spent 14 years at NASA. Bolden says “Some of the people I respect most in the world are my fellow astronauts. Some of my best friends died flying on the shuttle, and I am not about to let human spaceflight go away on my watch.”
