The AP reports that NASA has added one more shuttle flight to its schedule before the program is closed for good. The Atlantis is now scheduled to fly on June 28, taking supplies to the International Space Station.

NASA added the flight although it doesn't know where it will get the money to pay for it. The Obama administration and Congress agreed to the extra flight but Congress hasn't given NASA the few hundred million dollars needed.
