CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (Reuters) - Astronauts climbed aboard the shuttle Discovery on Friday, hoping the weather holds for a midnight launch of a 13-day mission to stock the International Space Station with new lab gear, food and spare parts.
NASA plans to end a spate of launch delays with an 11:59 p.m. EDT (0359 GMT on Saturday) liftoff from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The flight has been on hold since Tuesday due to poor weather and a technical issue with a drain valve in the ship's fuel tank.
