Discovery made her final flight in Feb, 24th 2011 and felt the last lift on her wings when she made her final touchdown on March 9th, 2011.

Discovery made 39 missions, 365 days in space, 5,830 orbits of the Earth, 148,221,665 miles traveled. It has gone through 39 sets of landing-gear tires since its first flight in 1984.

Very nice, what is the music?

@pinkfloydeffect Thank you! The music is from a variety of sources.

Beautiful tribute. I remember the first flight in '81 covered extensively by ABC News. Wish they would issue a DVD of that first launch and their 2 hour coverage. Good memories...

[POVScreenscapeS]

@awkwarddude Thanks! I remember those too!

Over the years I had the good fortune to be involved with several video presentations involving the Space Shuttle and an on-board program then known as SAREX - The Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment (that has since morphed into Amateur Radio on the ISS). As such I got to see a number of launches at the Cape and heard many sonic booms as the shuttle passed over my home as it approached Dryden to land. Ive also seen a lot of shuttle video, but what you have edited is to me awe inspiring. Thank you.

id like to think the shuttles succeeded more than they failed..that they inspired us to go on to better things ....and to think that just over 100 years ago the wright brothers flew a few 100 yards.....and now look how far weve come..surely the future is bright for further space travel...and to those who paved the way.....we thank you:-)
