CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- The enormous Vehicle Assembly Building is seen prominently in the background at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, overlooking the parking spaces below the Press Site filled with news satellite trucks and media vehicles, there to cover the final launch of space shuttle Discovery on the STS-133 mission. Discovery and its six-member crew will deliver the Permanent Multipurpose Module, packed with supplies and critical spare parts, as well as Robonaut 2 to the International Space Station.
