In 2004, I participated in a NASA teacher training at the Dryden Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. We were treated to a special tour of the modified Boeing 747 shuttle carrier aircraft which ferries the space shuttle back to Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Shuttle Discovery is scheduled to take its ride home tomorrow Friday on Saturday (probably). It's a pretty awesome sight; not quite as awesome as a landing... but close. For mission status updates, visit Spaceflight Now.
