Shuttle Discovery Makes Final Voyage

From Sci-Tech Today -Space shuttle Discovery soared around the Washington Monument and the White House in a salute to the nation's capital Tuesday before landing for the last time near its new museum home. The world's most traveled spaceship took off at daybreak from Cape Canaveral, Fla., bolted to the top of a modified jumbo jet for the trip. Three hours later, the pair took a few spins around Washington at an easy-to-spot 1,500-foot altitude before the retired shuttle was grounded for good. The combo landed at Dulles International Airport in northern Virginia. Discovery will be towed Thursday to the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum annex near the airport.
