Re: pic: Discovery Bon Voyage

Barry, great picture! It is neat to see the start of her voyage yesterday and I have a lot of respect for the space coast. Don't worry, we will take good care of Discovery in DC. I hope lots of people will be able to visit the Smithsonian and become inspired (my favorite letter of FIRST is the "i").

I work at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and attribute getting my job to FIRST. I was able to take some pictures of Discovery flying over the National Mall in DC and they are posted on the NASA Flickr site:
