NASA finished pumping hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel in the Discoveries in the morning and six astronauts assigned to the space station delivery mission, the crew gathered at the premises for the late start this afternoon. It was the second blow in it. November launch attempt never made it that far. Launch director Mike Leinbach said everything finally seemed to come together. Even the weather has been found: the forecast improvement of 90 percent "Go" to start 4:50 pm.
"I think the weather is good," Leinbach said Thursday morning. "This is a machine so you never know until the last seconds on the clock, if all parts of the machine are going to behave. But now it feels good."
