The last ever space-walk in the 30-year history of the US shuttle programme has been completed at the International Space Station.
Astronauts Mike Fincke and Greg Chamitoff's seven-and-a-half-hour walk completed Nasa's part in constructing the ISS.
An end of an era and the start of a new one though.Hopefully.

Russia still plans to carry out space-walks at the ISS, adding at least one more chamber to the structure. Those in the station will also carry out walks as necessary.
Russia will also ferry astronauts to the ISS.
