Atlantis Lands for Final Time; Shuttle Era Over – 21 July 2011

I'm glad the landing got a lot more attention than the lift-off of this final voyage received.  30 years, and it's done.  I'm curious now what the next vessel will look like when we next leave Earth's atmosphere under our own power and not hitching a ride from some other country.

1.  Fox News (I'm finding that Fox likes to be pre-emptive in
    their alerts; this one was sent 23 minutes before the
    scheduled landing)
2.  Houston Chronicle: +24 minutes (The Shuttle Has Landed;
    alert released one minute after the scheduled landing)
3.  Fox News: +2 minutes (FN alert that the shuttle had
    actually landed; they got scooped on this one)
4.  USA Today: +6 minutes
5.  Los Angeles Times: +3 minutes
6.  ABC News: +2 minutes
7.  Raleigh News & Observer: +1 minute
8.  Washington Post: +11 minutes
9.  Miami Herald: +1 minute
10. Richmond Times-Dispatch: +4 minutes
11. CBS News: +3 minutes
12. New York Times: +3 minutes
13. Wall Street Journal: +5 minutes
14. Minneapolis Star-Tribune: +2 minutes
15. St Petersburg Times: +7 minutes
    CNN Headline News Morning Xpress
17. Denver Post: +32 minutes
