In April 17, 2012, Discovery had a piggyback ride above a modified NASA 747 to the retire in its final resting place at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Virginia. Space Shuttle Discovery has been on 39 missions, has completed 5,830 orbits around Earth, and flown 148 million miles. Also in its liftime, it spent a total of 395 days in Space. That is over one year of going into Space. While reading this article, I kept wondering, how Discovery didn't fall of the airplane.
