American cable channel AMC broadcasts the second episode of its six-part remake of The Prisoner, starring Jim Caviziel as Number Six and Sir Ian McKellen as Number Two. With its more modern imagery and less ambiguous storytelling style, the remake proves to be controversial with fans of the original 1960s Prisoner.

Space Shuttle Atlantis lifts off on the 129th shuttle flight, an 11-day mission to the International Space Station. Equipment, supplies, and spare parts are delivered, enough to make in-orbit maintenance of the station possible for several years. Aboard Atlantis for her 31st flight are Commander Charles Hobaugh, Pilot Barry Wilmore, and mission specialists Mike Foreman, Leland Melvin, Robert Satcher and Randy Bresnik; ISS crewmember Nicole Stott returns to Earth via Atlantis, and is the last ISS crewmember to return home on a shuttle.
