As black clouds gather overhead, the orbiter Discovery arrives at the Orbiter Processing Facility after a two-mile tow from NASA's Shuttle Landing Facility. Umbilical lines for coolant and air purging from Discovery are still attached.

Yup...just like a 300 MPH top fuel dragster after each explosive trip down the quarter mile..."Time to pull 'er apart and overhaul...overhaul...overhaul...before the next run.." And like drag racing...it's one heck of an EXPENSIVE gig, too! Thank you for sharing this with us...
