The International Space Station seen from the space shuttle Endeavour
If you’d been aboard space shuttle Endeavour’s mission in 2011, you might've had a chance to snap a photo of the International Space Station, too. This was to have been the final mission for NASA’s lauded space shuttle program, and it was Endeavour’s swan song. But like a movie detective a few days from retirement, one last space shuttle mission was booked before the end of the year, and Atlantis got the job.
