And now there are none

The space shuttles Enterprise, left, and Discovery meet nose-to-nose at the beginning of a transfer ceremony at the Smithsonian's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, today, Thursday, April 19, 2012, in Chantilly, Va.

Discovery, was the first orbiter retired from NASA’s shuttle fleet, and completed 39 missions, spent 365 days in space, orbited the Earth 5,830 times, and traveled 148,221,675 miles.  It will take the place of Enterprise which is moving to the Intrepid Sea Air and Space Museum in New York.

By being on display, these shuttles will commemorate past achievements in space and be used to educate and inspire future generations of space explorers...that is once Obama is out of office and NASA's main funding is reinstated, because if he is re-elected we can kiss future space missions goodbye.

Thanks again Obama for destroying yet another piece of our American exceptionism...from us being the leader in space exploration to now being mere observers.
