Discovery is the best thing about the shuttle program. Lady Luck was smiling at this remarkable voyager throughout her lifetime. Chances are we will not see her like again.
Thanks.
Cheers,

Like all of us who get old we need to realize it is time to slow down and enjoy life. Discovery has been a magnificent ship, her accomplishments great. Let her retire in glory and let people have the chance to see her in all her greatness.
