The only people closer than us to the launch were the press (the folks you can see in the foreground) and the actual launch control group.

I had the opportunity to visit the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Dulles International Airport. This is a really good museum. The exhibits are each nearly artworks in and of themselves. The facility is spacious, well organized and spotlessly maintained. They have some really unique historical aircraft. It was well worth the time. The docent led tour was excellent.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Space shuttle Atlantis' bright-white, iconic frame illuminates the darkness as it touches down on the Shuttle Landing Facility's Runway 15 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida for the final time. Securing the space shuttle fleet's place in history, Atlantis marked the 26th nighttime landing of NASA's Space Shuttle Program and the 78th landing at Kennedy. Main gear touchdown was at 5:57:00 a.m. EDT, followed by nose gear touchdown at 5:57:20 a.m., and wheelstop at 5:57:54 a.m. On board are STS-135 Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, and Mission Specialists Sandra Magnus and Rex Walheim. On the 37th shuttle mission to the International Space Station, STS-135 delivered more than 9,400 pounds of spare parts, equipment and supplies in the Raffaello multi-purpose logistics module that will sustain station operations for the next year. STS-135 was the 33rd and final flight for Atlantis, which has spent 307 days in space, orbited Earth 4,848 times and traveled 125,935,769 miles.
