The 135th and very last space shuttle flight before NASA retires the 30-year program launched today, July 8. Today's flight will be Atlantis' 33rd and final mission before it is retired, along with the rest of the agency's orbiter fleet, Endeavour and Discovery. The shuttle's retirement will make way for a new space exploration program aimed at sending astronauts on deep space missions with the hopes of reaching Mars.

But while the engineers, scientists and technicians are sequestered on the ground away from space, 

who will fill the void?
