CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — It's departure day for
space shuttle Discovery. At daybreak Tuesday, NASA's oldest and most
traveled shuttle will take off from Florida's Kennedy
Space Center for Washington aboard a modified jumbo
jet. It's set to become a museum piece at the
Smithsonian Institution. Weather permitting, the jet and shuttle will fly south
down the Cape Canaveral beach for everyone to see,
before turning north. A low flyover also is planned
once they reach Washington. Discovery is the first of the three retired space
shuttles to head to a museum. It will go on display at
Dulles International Airport in Virginia, taking the
place of the shuttle prototype Enterprise. The
Enterprise will shuffle off to New York City. Endeavour will head to Los Angeles this fall. Atlantis
will remain at Kennedy.
