A Final Mission; A First Launch


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...

A First Launch!

The co-bloggers here at Spacefreighters Lounge
would like to congratulate debut author 
Pippa Jay

  1. It's sad that the space shuttle journeys have come to an end, and I wish I could get to see one of them.

    And 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!

  2. 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.

    Congrats, Pippa! May Keir be a bestseller.

    Counting down for you now too, Pippa!! Hope it's a blast!
