i have some questions that im to lazy to go look up for myself.
If that was the last shuttle mission, and there are still people on the ISS, how they gettin home?
If that was the last shuttle mission, wth we spend so much on the ISS?
Is there supposed to be something taking over the shuttles place?

It appears that American astronauts will be buying bus tickets from the Russkies. 
During this gap, U.S. astronauts will be able to reach the International Space Station (ISS) only by buying seats on Russian Soyuz spacecraft at U.S. $51 to $63 million each, round trip.
