It has been an iconic sight for decades, but today a Nasa space shuttle blasted into the night sky for the last time - with a British-born astronaut on board.

There are just four more shuttle missions scheduled this year before the famous ships are retired.

The Space Shuttles are to be retired this year, so only four more missions to go.

It's ground control to Major Tim



Shame he was not called Tom

Of course the first brit into space was a tyke


"Sheffield-born chemist Helen Sharman was the first Briton to actually make it into orbit in 1991 after securing private funding to fly to the Mir space station on a Russian Soyuz craft."
