    Space Shuttle Discovery

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     BillyDPVB, of Ponte Verde Beach, Florida, tried to find the Discovery flight path last night, but could not. 'I took a chance and went to the beach at 7 this morning,' he says. 'I just thought it would be a part of history.' He was lucky and shot this video of Discovery flying overhead. 'As a young man in the early 50s and 60s, seeing the first space travel...I think it's important for our country and our economy to do space travel and space exploration,' he says. 'I hope in the future we can start funding NASA to reach a higher level.'
