    Discovery Arrival at Udvar-Hazy

    By BigBenInVa  |  Posted April 17, 2012  |  Dulles, Virginia
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     BigBenInVa, of Oakton, Virginia, says watched the last flight of Discovery because he wanted to see history being made. He shot these pictures from the Udvar-Hazy parking lot. 'I understand that the shuttle never achieved the goal of r educing the cost of manned space flight with a reusable spacecraft, but the other achievements that wouldn't have been possible make up for that,' he says. 'I would gladly increase my tax payment every year enough to see NASA programs fully funded.'
