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.
SpaceEngine - A free space simulation program that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets - all available for exploration. You can land any planet, moon or asteroid and watch alien landscapes and celestial phenomena. You can even pilot starships and atmospheric shuttles.
The Space Shuttle Endeavour was the fifth and final operational shuttle built. It embarked on its first mission, STS-49, in May 1992 and its 25th and final mission, STS-134, in May 2011.
After more than 20 organisations submitted proposals for the display of an orbiter, NASA chose that Endeavour would go to the California Science Center in Exposition Park, Los Angeles.
The exhibit was opened to the public on October 30, 2012 at the temporary Samuel Oschin Space Shuttle Endeavour Display Pavilion of the museum.

This is the first time that I have made a bow out of fabric and it certainly won't be my last time. I can't get over how cute Busy looks in this dress, glasses and shoes.

Featuring the Red-92 Mech and spaceship Carrier-B9, this small explorative duo is common throughout the early era of deep space exploration. The mech would help clear out any obstacles and protect the carrier while it collects research samples and data to bring back to the space station.

On Wednesday, September 19th Space Shuttle Endeavour took of from the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center to begin her journey to California for display. After overnight stays at both Ellington Field in Texas and NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Endeavour would land for the final time at Los Angeles International Airport on September 21, 2012.
