Space Shuttle Discovery: A History

discovery_launch.jpg

On Wednesday, the Space Shuttle Discovery will lift off for the final time. Named for three separate British ships (Captain James Cook’s HMS
Discovery, Henry Hudson’s Discovery, and Captain George Nares’s HMS Discovery),
the shuttle will have seen 39 missions in 26 years.

In honor of the ship’s retirement, we’ve pulled together
some of the Discovery’s most exciting moments in its quarter-century of space
travel.
