"We shall individually be held responsible for doing one jot less than we have ability to do...But when we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. He would not have us conjecture as to the success of our honest endeavors. Not once should we even think of failure. We are to cooperate with One who knows no failure." ~Messages to Young People, p. 309

The Final Launch of the Final Mission


So...yesterday I come home from camp (more on that later!!) and power up the computer to see what happened in my absence. Well, a shuttle launch and docking to the ISS, that's what happened! The Space Shuttle Atlantis lifted off this past Friday just a few minutes late on the shuttle's final flight, STS-135. Here's some videos of the prep and launch of the final space shuttle mission. Right below this article is the actual launch video; below that are all the launch prep videos.

P.S.--Remember to come to my actual blog to view these videos.
