Endeavour’s STS-134 mission was originally supposed to be the final mission of the Space Shuttle program, but the STS-135 mission was approved in October 2010, and now Atlantis will be the final Space Shuttle to fly into space.
According to NASA, Endeavour has spent 299 days in space, orbited Earth 4,671 times and traveled 122,883,151 miles on its 25 flights.
Endeavour’s last mission was also notable as it coincided with the biggest social media push from NASA so far. The agency launched a new Slideshare Network, dubbed "The NASA Universe," adding to its rich social media offering, which includes over 100 Twitter feeds as well as multiple accounts on YouTube, Facebook and Flickr.
