Discovery was the third Space Shuttle orbiter vehicle to fly in space. It entered service in 1984 and retired from spaceflight as the oldest and most accomplished orbiter, the champion of the shuttle fleet. Discovery flew on 39 Earth-orbital missions, spent a total of 365 days in space, and traveled almost 240 million kilometers (150 million miles)--more than the other orbiters. It shuttled 184 men and women into space and back, many of whom flew more than once, for a record-setting total crew count of 251.
Because Discovery flew every kind of mission the Space Shuttle was meant to fly, it embodies well the 30-year history of U.S. human spaceflight from 1981 to 2011. Named for renowned sailing ships of exploration, Discovery is preserved as intact as possible as it last flew in 2011 on the 133rd Space Shuttle mission.
NASA transferred Discovery to the Smithsonian in April 2012 after a delivery flight over the nation's capital.

It’s fairly apparent that this design was inspired by the aurora wallpaper in Mac OS X. Everything here was created from scratch, and it was interesting to experiment with different filters and layer effects.

The first Space Shuttle orbiter, Enterprise is a full-scale test vehicle used for flights in the atmosphere and tests on the ground. Officially designated Orbiter Vehicle 101 (OV-101), Enterprise is not equipped for spaceflight. It has no propulsion systems and only simulated thermal tiles.
In 1977 Enterprise completed approach and landing tests at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in California: It was flown atop a Boeing 747 carrier airplane and also released for piloted descents to check out its systems and performance. It later underwent launch vibration tests and fit checks at other NASA centers. Although Enterprise never flew in space, it introduced a new era in space transportation and was the flagship for a fleet of reusable shuttles. The Smithsonian acquired Enterprise in 1985.

The Space Needle reflected on the Experience Music Project Building. I thought this would be a different way of seeing the Space Needle. I think I'm right.
The spherical phantom is made of tissue-equivalent substance (judging by a colour it’s a meat equivalent). It contains a number of dosimeters which are placed at different depths, that corresponds to different tissues, e.g. 3mm depth corresponds to a crystalline lens, and 70mm - a central nervous system.
