"DEPLORABLES UNITE"

On Wednesday, we go back to ISS from American soil. Promises made, promises kept.

When the Space Shuttle Atlantis roared toward the sky for the last time in 2011, it carried a special payload: a small American flag. And 250 miles above earth, shuttle commander Chris Ferguson led the ceremony to leave the flag on board the space station.

"This flag represents not just a symbol of our national pride and honor, but in this particular case, it represents a goal," Ferguson said.

"The next astronaut that launched from American soil that docked at the space station would get to bring the flag home," he added.
