Space Shuttle Set For Launch

Here’s a snippet from the NASA site:

Space shuttle Discovery’s STS-124 mission is officially scheduled for launch May 31.

Discovery’s 14-day flight will carry the largest payload so far to the station and includes three spacewalks. It is the second of three missions that will launch components to complete the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Kibo laboratory. The crew will install Kibo’s large Japanese Pressurized Module and Kibo’s robotic arm system. Discovery also will deliver new station crew member Greg Chamitoff and bring back Flight Engineer Garrett Reisman, who will end a three-month stay aboard the outpost.

Launch Date: May 31, 2008
Launch Time: 5:02 p.m. EDT

I usually watch launches and landings both on my computer (so I can watch the entire thing) and my big screen TV (so I can see it REALLY well! LOL). Keep your fingers crossed for good weather and all systems go!
