We were fortunate to be able to attend the launching and the landing of the final Discovery Space Shuttle flight. The launch took place on Feb. 24, 2011. We got there three days before the launch and spent 2 days in Wallmart's parking lot and the last night on the street at Space View Park which was directly across the river from the launch pad. Words cannot describe the anticipation before the launch. The sight of the launch was breath taking as well as extremely emotional. Since we were staying in Florida for several weeks we made the decision to go back and see the landing. Both the launch and the landing were so memorable that words and even pictures cannot describe what we were so fortunate to witness. What an awesome experience.
