Discovery docks at international space station
Discovery, the US space shuttle, has docked at the international space station for the last time. This is the 13th time it has flown to the space station, where it is to deliver a new store room and a humanoid robot. Now only two more flight are scheduled, which are Atlantis and Endeavor, they will happen in the next few months. Discovery started its 11 day mission on thursday, and was launched from the Kennedy Space Centre.The entire orbiter fleet is set to be retired to museums. Didn't they do a good job? :)

"For the last time" sounds so final for space flight. I am not up to date on this, but am optimistic that just because it is the shuttles last flight does not mean space travel has ended for NASA. Another to add to the blame Obama list?
Aren't they replacing it with something else?
