NASA gives a green light for shuttle launch

NASA has given a green light for the shuttle launch today and has begun preparing the shuttle for take off. The space shuttle’s external fuel tanks have been filled after NASA ruled out weather concerns.

There was a 60 percent chance of rain that could put a stop to Discovery’s take off, but NASA said the weather had improved. “At this point in the count, we’re on schedule, our systems are all good and we’re in great shape,” said National Aeronautics and Space Administration test director Steve Payne.
