Shuttle Discovery (STS-133) launch

Looks like the Ghost Busters are on the scene now

Sky showed about one minute of footage.

BBC showed the whole landing, but couldn't even be bothered to get someone with some knowledge in to talk about it (instead opting to blither on over the top of NASA's commentator)

One of the reason i stuck with spaceflightnow

As did I.

Was just having a flick through the channels to see what they were showing - Russia Today was pretty good, they had a science correspondant and a cosmosnaut providing updates.

If the Smithsonian is having Discovery and loaning out Enterprise, surely it makes sense for Enterprise to be moved to the American Air Museum at Duxford.

Would be great if Duxford got Enterprise, can't see it happening though

During the spaceflightnow build up to Endeavour mission STS-130 last year. It was mentioned a 'British' museum was interested in one of the orbiters. Could be because Nicholas Patrick was on board Endeavour

Astronauts now off Discovery

Discovery, atop the SCA, will be landing shortly at KSC.

Holy smoke Dave. This thread is a year old. I thought a Shuttle was airborne without our knowledge and despite the program having been terminated.

A slight correction - it's just the SCA, arriving to pick up Discovery. NASA's Twitter lied.

Yeah that's what I though. Then the NASA Twitter suggested this was actually SCA+Discovery flying in (then they corrected themselves).
