The final astronaut crew to fly on a space shuttle has a secret in store for everyone watching when the astronauts pause during their mission to offer a tribute to NASA's 30-year shuttle program.
The four crewmembers have some special souvenirs packed on shuttle Atlantis, but what they are, they aren't saying.
"Our commander wants to keep a lot of that a surprise for the day that we do those things," said Atlantis' pilot Doug Hurley in a pre-flight interview. "Obviously, there may be some mementos involved before we leave the space station for the last time."
