Welcome to Wheels Stop, a special blog devoted to covering the final Space Shuttle mission. We’ll be providing news, photos, and other updates from the Kennedy Space Center in the days leading up to the launch of the shuttle Atlantis on STS-135, and well as coverage of mission activities during the final mission of the Space Shuttle program, up until the shuttle lands and its wheels stop (hence the name of this blog). Please also follow our coverage on Twitter at @WheelsStopBlog and directy from the site’s editor, Jeff Foust, at @jeff_foust.
