It is April 10, 2011 and astronaut Jim Ramsey will be the commander for NASA's final flight of the space shuttle program. It was initially intended to be a short mission, with a duration of five days, to restock supplies on the International Space Station. However, a secret discovery made by NASA in early 2009 will drastically change the final flight. It will be a mission like no other in the shuttle's thirty-year history. It will require the work and dedication from multiple contractors and engineers working day and night to beat the ultimate nemesis, time. The dangers, known and unknown, will bring the crew to the brink of disaster while simultaneously forcing a nation to collectively hold its breath. Come along with the crew of STS-136R as they attempt to rewrite history.
