Following the STS-133 mission, Discovery will be the first of the shuttle fleet to retire. By the end of STS-133, 180 people will also have flown aboard Discovery, including the first female shuttle pilot and the first female shuttle commander (who happen to be the same person – Eileen Collins), the first African American spacewalker (Bernard Harris) and the first sitting member of congress to fly in space (Jake Garn).
Keep up with STS-133 by visiting the mission website.

why is it so difficult to access/view NASA launch videos without relying on some third-party ad-soaked internet site? your site leaves a LOT to be desired …two years ago I didn’t have this problem….the networks kill ANY decent view with their self-serving banners…the NASA viewpoints are nothing less than spectacular…..if there is a direct link I can use please tell me (blogs: don’t need ’em….they’re all over the information superjunkyard) thanks for the work you do!

A: In addition to broadcasting live launch video on the NASA TV channel, available through many local commercial cable and satellite TV companies, NASA TV webcasts shuttle launches at https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html
In addition to the live video feed available through the NASA TV website, shuttle missions make available daily recap videos as well as other related videos on a single website. For example, to watch videos about STS-133 visit https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/videogallery/index.html?collection_id=14554&media_id=68175241
