Space shuttle Discovery arriving in Washington

Space shuttle Discovery arrives in Washington – Light Years - CNN.com Blogs

I thought this was pretty cool, I was watching the live feed CNN has up on their site earlier, and I was actually able to catch a glimpse of it heading into the horizon since I work pretty close to DC. I doubt we'll ever see anything like this ever again.

Just watched it land with a jet fighter escort. Pretty cool. Great footage on local news.

cool, not as cool as the Tupac hologram footage. If it was a hologram, probably cooler. if the plane and shuttle was a hologram and could G-step, alot cooler

It flew by my office 3 or 4 times. The first fly by was right in front of our windows. That shuttle is huge.

I saw it fly by a few times. Didn't think I would see it. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience.

The Tupac hologram just made me sad that Tupac is dead. :/

16 years ago would make me.. Yeah around that. But I grew up on hip hop and r&b. Age is irrelevant.
