Last time for Atlantis
PATRICK AIR FORCE BASE, Fla.- Space Shuttle Atlantis is parked on the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center. This will be the last shuttle launch for NASA and for the Rescue Airmen here who lend their help with safety and security surveillance of the Eastern Range during all launches from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Kennedy Space Center. "We are the designated rescue force should the shuttle go through some catastrophic failure," said Staff Sgt. Brandon Forshaw, 920th Rescue Wing reserve pararescueman.
