Key Facts:
- f**king awesome
- 0-60mph in 7.9 seconds
- 17500 miles per hour top speed
- 143 million miles on the clock
- Launch Weight: 2million kg
- 2.2million kgs of thrust from the 2 SRBs
- 450,000 kgs of thrust from the 3 main engines
- First registered 1983

They are all due to have their final flights this year arent they? before being retired & replacement isnt out for a good few years.

Would've thought they'd have cleaned it first

What... a... machine!

Id kill for a go in it, despite the poor 0-60 lol

 It's like we took a step up the ladder but chickened out.

Good way to sell a car that is quicker 0-60 than 7.9

"Hey, my car will outperform the Discovery spaceship 0-60"

I still think the Top Gear Reliant version was better!
