    Discovery Flyby of Cocoa Beach

    By medicranz  |  Posted April 17, 2012  
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     medicranz, of Holiday, Florida, says, 'It's very saddening, especially since the U.S. has no way to send its own astronauts into space from U.S. soil.' He shot this video of Discovery as it flew over Cocoa Beach earlier this morning. 'I've been an avid space fan and NASA supporter my entire life. I've been to over 100 shuttle launches in person,' he says. 'Of course I had to see Discovery one last time!'
