    Gorgeous Image of Discovery Before Her Final Launch.

    You need to click this pig to get a full sense of her majesty. This is an image of the Discovery, taken a few weeks ago. Tomorrow, Discovery is taking her final voyage into space. Sloughing off the shackles of our niggling orbit and ascending to the cosmos. Phil Plait over at Bad Astronomy notes that “barring this and one more flight of Endeavour later this year, it’ll be a while before we can put humans into space at all.”
