COSMIC MESSAGE
The Space Shuttle Orbiter Discovery made its final departure from Kennedy Space Center, riding atop a modified Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. After a farewell flyover of the Space Coast, Goddard Space Flight Center, and Washington D.C., Discovery headed for Dulles International Airport. It is now destined to reside at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum Udvar-Hazy Center. This marked the end of an era for the shuttle program.
