A Final Mission
David was one of the lucky visitors to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. last weekend when a newly acquired arrival, space shuttle Discovery, was on display as the new ambassador for an historic era of space travel.
I wanted to share a few of the photos of the great ship in her new home. Godspeed, Discovery, in your final mission.
And here's a very special tribute from her last voyage...
Every mission has to have a beginning, and here at Spacefreighters Lounge we're very proud to celebrate...

ReplyDeleteAnd thanks so much for the huge shout out, Laurie. A big thank you to my co-bloggers for their support, and here's to many more launches!
I have to wipe a tear or two. I watched a Discovery launch in person several years ago. One item on my bucket list, pretty close to the top one. It was the most incredible three minutes of my life.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Pippa! May Keir be a bestseller.
Thanks, Jaleta. :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic pics! I was glad I was lucky enough to see a few launches from a few miles away!
ReplyDeleteCounting down for you now too, Pippa!! Hope it's a blast!
