Vestibule between PMA-2 and ODS hatches is currently being depressurised.
Will be at least four years before it's pressurised again - maybe more.

Edit:
On the Node 2 Forward hatch, on the Port side of the US flag they've got the STS-1 patch, and on the Starboard side of the flag they've got the STS-135 patch (see attached image). Neat.

Had a total of 7 days 21 hours 41 minutes of hatch open time for this mission.
Total Shuttle hatch open time for the entire program was 234 days 14 hours 30 minutes. In other words, although it took nearly 13 years, the ISS was actually assembled in less than 1 year.

Just had a thought, when will our next set of live coverage threads for a mission be ?
I know there's plenty of launches but full missions like this?

Josh Byerly, and he's excellent - as he has been since day 1. He's got the tone of these historic events spot on.

The Space Shuttles are such unique space ships the same as the Concordes were totally unique aircrafts... and so sexy!
A true class act.
Capsules are not thrilling.

If you've not seen this video they are playing now, drop everything and watch it. This video is stunning, not ashamed to say it had me tearing up.

Do any of those have wings, or a "vertical stabilizer"?

It's that ending, with Rob in full form and the music (anyone know what song that is?) and this shot.
Seen it a lot of times now, but gets me every time.
