Space Shuttle Discovery: Mission STS-133


Recommended Posts

It's not the last shuttle launch, it's just the last flight for Discovery. There are two more missions planned, one for STS-134 for Endeavour, and STS-135 for Atlantis. Nice video though!

nice and wishing them lots of success, they just did that six hour EVA. while i'm not a big fan of the space shuttle because i believe we should have gone on to bigger things, i acknowledge the contribution it's made and all the effort. i do believe it is time to move on and leave LEO operations to private industry.

Totally agree. We should have retired the shuttle on time (early 90's) and done what we're preparing to do now: commercial orbital ops and let NASA be the pathfinder beyond Earth orbit - with plenty of commercial help (Bigelow modules etc.)
