Space Shuttle Discovery - Last Mission (video/photos)


Yep, as we promised two days ago, today we are posting a very, very special, out-of-the-loop update!
Indeed, we went right to Cape Canaveral to see the very last launch of the space shuttle Discovery! Take a look at this video that we personally took. In the first part, you'll see all the people that gathered on the sides of the road to see the launch. At about 1:21, you'll see the space shuttle itself (of course, it's still very small to see, unless you are right inside the Space Center):


Also, here you are a couple of pictures we took, that show the huge column of smoke that the shuttle left behind and all the people that were parking on the side of the road:

Yes, we were trapped in a long line:


Parked!:


The Space Shuttle:






Look how big was the smoke column!:





Going to infinity... and beyond!


So, as we said, this was the last launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery, but there will be other two launches in the near future, so... stay tuned!
