 Discovery finds new home at Smithsonian Museum



SPACE SHUTTLE- This was a wonder word sometime back. But now the curtain had fallen on this word.

The first thing that comes to mind when I think about Discovery Space Shuttle is its flight in October 2008. There was lots of news coverage for that special mission because of John Glenn’s return to Space after 36 years. I had watched that launch on TV.

It is sad to know that the ‘space-shuttle days’ have come to an end. But at least we can see the legends in the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum.

Discovery will be remembered for a lot of reasons… My favorite among them- The Hubble Space Telescope which is still alive and helping us to look at the far reaches of the Universe, was launched from Discovery Space Shuttle.
Good bye,  Discovery…
