Bernard Harris
Today NASA is scheduled to launch the final voyage of the space shuttle Discovery. Lift-off is to take place at 4:50 p.m. Discovery is NASA’s most traveled shuttle and has been around for 30 years. My little brother, who dreams of being a zillion things including an astronaut, is so excited that a space-related event is in the news.
