The crew of STS-133 is suiting up for launch. Commanded by Steve Lindsey, the team of six astronauts will head out to Launch Pad 39A after they get on their partial pressure suits. They are the familiar orange-colored ensembles that are also known as "pumpkin suits." Discovery's crew today is made up of all spaceflight veterans. Along with Lindsey are Pilot Eric Boe, and Mission Specialists Alvin Drew, Steve Bowen, Michael Barratt and Nicole Stott. The countdown is continuing to go smoothly for the STS-133 mission today and liftoff remains on target for 4:50 p.m. EST. For continuous coverage of the countdown, check out NASA's launch blog at http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/launch/launch_blog.html
