see the last Shuttle mission thru the eyes of an observer who has been watching since the first Cape launch in the mid-Twentieth Century. Forty photo oils illustrate the mission span from May of 2011 when Atlantis rolled out from its Orbital Processing Facility, through launch on July 8th, from Pad 39A. Then see what runs the voyage and welcome the Shuttle's return home fourteen days and 5,000,000+ miles later. Learn how amazing the program's accomplishments were, as you get an up close look not seen by the public. Feel what it was like to be in the mix as the hardware moved thru the Space Center and up to ISS and back, as the USA, NASA, and USAF team worked the magic that was the Shuttle.

About the Author
About Lloyd BehrendtBorn at Guantanamo Bay Naval Air Station, Behrendt's life in an Air Force family led to him becoming what he describes as "the original Space Brat" - beginning the moment he saw the very first US rocket take off from a Florida beach as a toddler. He has watched and covered the program as a photojournalist since the launch of Apollo 14, and currently has more than 400 launches on film. The B&W and digital images freeze moments in history. He continues to cover the US space program from Florida's launch site.Behrendt's first book, "Birds of Hope...A Primer for the Future," uses his unusually historical artwork to depict the coexistence of Central Florida's man-made "space birds" with the natural, winged creatures that inhabit the area, and shares the accidental lesson of how rockets have saved their feathered neighbors.Behrendt's passion for documenting mankind's journey into space comes from a lifetime living the US space program since 1950. He has begun a pictorial series, lil marsh books, to share the magic hiding in freshwater wetland habitats.Behrendt is a liberal arts graduate of the University of Florida. He lives with his black mouth cur Opie on the Space Coast, nestled in palmetto and pine scrub in the quaint town of Malabar, Florida.Additional information about Behrendt and his work can be found at bluesawtooth.com. His latest images can be found on his Facebook page, facebook.com/SpaceBrat1; Twitter: @LB_theSpaceCoast.
