Yep, me and Discovery have a history. Back in 1984 I was attending a conference in LA and spent a few extra days and went up to Edwards to watch Discovery land. In an interesting coincidence, my wife has a small flag that had flown in space on that mission that the Smithsonian gave her when she retired. When the shuttle missions were winding down, Margy and I got VIP tickets to see the next to the last Discovery launch. We also knew one of the mission specialists that was on his way up to the ISS on that mission. The mission launched just before dawn (you could see the ISS transit just before the launch with the naked eye). Of course, we were at Udvar-Hazy when they switched out Enterprise for Discovery. Margy got the transporter crew to sign her picture of the mount point ("Attach orbiter here, note: black side down") that was hanging in her office.
