None

NASA began fueling space shuttle Discovery on Saturday for a late afternoon launch to the international space station.

 

Everything seemed to be going NASA's way, including the weather. With no hurdles in sight, the launch team began pumping more than 500,000 gallons (1,892,650 liters) of fuel into Discovery's big external tank soon after daybreak.(AP)
