Crew for last shuttle mission named.

Post by Boomerang »

NASA has named the crew for what is expected to be the last flight of the Space shuttle STS-133. An interesting note 2 of the crew are currently in space aboard the ISS. Wonder how that might affect the training of the crew. Then again the last flight is mainly a resupply mission more than anything else. Relatively simple compared to the more complex construction flights. I also believe their is also still one flight thats a possibility to launch a piece of scientific equipment that has been cut from the program but is still being pushed for by alot of scientists. The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer however is not currently officialy manifested but would fly on STS-134 if it did.
