🇺🇸 GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR TOM: NASA STRAPPED DISCOVERY TO A PLANE

At Kennedy Space Center, engineers are prepping space shuttle Discovery for its grand finale: riding on the back of a Boeing XXX like a sci-fi crown on a jumbo jet.

On April 17, 2012, NASA XXX will carry the legendary shuttle to Washington Dulles in a sendoff worthy of a rock star heading to retirement. 

Instead of a stage, Discovery’s final home will be the Smithsonian, where it will live forever as the Elvis of space exploration.

This is one small flight for a 747,  but one giant space-ride for mankind.
