Discovery has launched on its final mission - STS-133

Spaceshuttle Discovery left earth at about 21:50 GMT this evening on its way to the International Space Station (ISS). The ISS is travelling at 5 miles / seconds with 6 crew members on board. But the ISS crew will not meet with the Discovery crew of STS-133 until in two days from now. Good luck, Discovery.
