At 11:57 a.m. EST on Mar. 9, 2011, space shuttle Discovery landed for
the final time at NASA's Kennedy Space Center after 202 orbits around
Earth and a journey of 5,304,140 miles on STS-133.
STS-133 was the 39th and final flight for Discovery, which spent 365
days in space, orbited Earth 5,830 times and traveled 148,221,675 miles.
