Ultimately, some 60 other related exhibits will be moved in to surround Atlantis, so when the building opens to the public in July 2013 there will be something for everyone. Among the displays will be a full size Hubble Telescope model, space shuttle landing simulators and an interactive wall where mission details can be retrieved at the touch of a finger. But before any of that can happen, Atlantis first needs to complete its final journey, set for next Friday. "I think there'll be a huge sigh of relief," Macy said. "when it gets in Friday night and lands where it is supposed to and we turn the key [to the OTS] off. I think that is going to be a huge emotional kind of 'phew' moment."
