MS. STILSON: Peter from Switzerland asks, after the return of Discovery, can it fly again this year? MR. LYONS: Yes, it could. It takes about four months from the time an orbiter lands to the time it's ready to launch again. So we could launch Discovery later this year. But our plans actually call for its next launch to be performed early next year.
