Crowds of U.S. Air Force members and their guests at Cape Canaveral AFS, Fla., watch the final launch of a space shuttle July 8, 2011, from the 45th Space Wing VIP Viewing Area on the NASA Causeway, as Shuttle Atlantis roars into the sky. The success of STS-135 marked the culmination of three decades of support for NASA Space Shuttle missions by the wing, other Air Force units and government agencies, and their mission partners.
