    My heart is broken! Discovery has flown for the last time, the first orbiter I ever saw. I was there for her first launch in 1984 and always had a soft spot for her. Next time i see her she will be in a museum and not where she should be in space.:(

    Well as the crew of STS-133 had worked out she had spent exactly 365 days in flight................. What a Dame!

    broken hearts all over the Globe.............. She was the Orbiter that brought STS back to life after both the loss of Challenger and Columbia!
