Ahhhh the Discovery.. 2nd only to the Columbia shuttle in the number of flight days, accomplishing 4,671 orbits spanning roughly 115 million miles with the most (34) flights, deploying the most (31) satellites, utilizing the most (209) crews.. That is a great shuttle for pictures. Thanks for sharing.
