KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- Spectators line the banks of the turn basin to watch the dawn launch of Space Shuttle Discovery on mission STS-102. The rosy sky pales in comparison to the deep rose of the orbiter’s exhaust trail that captures the rising sun’s rays. Liftoff occurred at 6:42:09 EST for the eighth flight to the International Space Station
