Out of this world
A spring sunrise illuminates the water surrounding Kennedy Space Center and Launch Complex 39B, site of the last Space Shuttle Discovery blast-off.
As Discovery’s historic 27-year run comes to a close, the shuttle has one last journey to take. On April 17, 2012, Discovery will be flown out of Kennedy Space Center on top of a Boeing 747 to its final destination: Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, in Chantilly, Va. The museum is also home to Space Shuttle Enterprise.
