I was very excited about visiting this specific museum, because I had the chance to see from close
Space Shuttle Discovery.

Space Shuttle Discovery is one of the orbiters from NASA's Space Shuttle program and the third of five built. Its first mission, flew from August 30 to September 5, 1984. Over 27 years of service it launched and landed 39 times, gathering more spaceflights than any other spacecraft to date.
