Did you know that it cost NASA $1.7 million transporting the shuttle from California?

Did you know that Space shuttle Discovery and its seven astronauts took a cross-country detour and landed safely in California on Friday after stormy weather prevented them from returning home to Florida for the second day in a row?

Did you know that NASA prefers Florida landings because the cross-country ferry trip, which involves transporting the shuttle atop a modified jumbo jet, costs $1.7 million and takes more than a week?

Did you know that the shuttle logged 5.7 million miles with it last trip in space?.
