May 31st, 2008
Kennedy Space Center, FL - Space Shuttle Discovery launched with a thundering, fiery arc stretching over the Space Coast Saturday at 5:02 p.m. EDT. The launch began a 14-day mission for Kelly and his crew of seven astronauts as they install a new Japanese-built laboratory module on the International Space Station. Next up for the STS-124 mission is a two-day chase across space to link up with the International Space Station.
