At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Commander Steve Lindsey and his crew will climb aboard space shuttle Discovery on Launch Pad 39A today to mimic the final hours of the countdown. They are practicing for the liftoff of the STS-133 mission, targeted for 4:40 pm Eastern time on Nov. 1. The crew flies back to NASA's Johnson Space Center later today after the dress rehearsal activities are completed.
