I love Rachel Maddow for many reasons, and one of them is that she is a space geek like us. She opened Tuesday night's show with Space Shuttle Discovery's parade lap around Washington D.C.

Given that Enterprise, which Discovery is taking the place of, will be heading to New York next week, with it's own parade lap around NYC, it's even more shameful that Adler wasn't selected to display one of the retired orbiters. Imagine how cool it would have been to see the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft flying along Lake Shore Drive, carrying one of the shuttles over it's future home. What a photo-op that would have been...
Okay, the embed for the video didn't work, which doesn't surprise me, so here's the link to the video page. Only about the first 5:45 is relevant to Discovery.

If any code geeks can figure out how to get the embed code to work, it would be much appreciated.
